Most of this research has been based on surveys from the United States, whereas few studies have provided evidence that these...

This paper showcases ways in which contact data can provide useful auxiliary information to study non-response and devise new strategies for statistical adjustment and fieldwork specification in cross-national surveys. We propose a typology of the processes generating contact data and discuss...
