Longitudinal surveys are surveys that involve collecting data from
multiple subjects on multiple occasions. They are typically used
for collecting data relating to social, economic, educational and
health-related issues and they serve as an important tool for
economists, sociologists, and other researchers.
Focusing on the design, implementation and analysis of
longitudinal surveys, Methodology of Longitudinal Surveys
discusses the current state of the art in carrying out these
surveys. The book also covers issues that arise in surveys that
collect longitudinal data via retrospective methods. Aimed at
researchers and practitioners analyzing data from statistical
surveys the book will also be suitable as supplementary reading for
graduate students of survey statistics.
This book:
* Covers all the main stages in the design, implementation and
analysis of longitudinal surveys.
* Reviews recent developments in the field, including the use of
dependent interviewing and mixed mode data collection.
* Discusses the state of the art in sampling, weighting and non
response adjustment.
* Features worked examples throughout using real data.
* Addresses issues arising from the collection of data via
retrospective methods, as well as ethical issues, confidentiality
and non-response bias.
