On the fade-away of an initial bias in longitudinal surveys
Rendtel, Ulrich; Alho, Juha M. - 2022
We propose a novel view of selection bias in longitudinal surveys. Such bias may arise from initial nonresponse in a probability sample, or it may be caused by self-selection in an internet survey. A contraction theorem from mathematical demography is used to show that an initial bias can...

The fade away of an initial bias in longitudinal surveys
Alho, Juha M.; Müller, Gerrit; Pflieger, Verena; … - 2017

Is there a fade-away effect of initial nonresponse bias in EU-SILC?
Rendtel, Ulrich - 2015
Nonresponse in surveys may result in a distortion of the distribution of interest. In a panel survey the participation behavior in later waves is different from the participation behavior at the start. With register data that cover also the information for non-respondents one can observe a fade...
