Abstract
John Dixon (2002) "The Effects of Item and Unit Nonresponse on Estimates of Labor Force Participation."
Previous studies have examined item nonresponse as a predictor of
household nonresponse. The usefulness of item nonresponse and unit
nonresponse in examining potential nonresponse bias in surveys is
explored. Models of item nonresponse and household nonresponse will be
related to survey estimates. The theory that households vary on a
continuum of cooperation will be examined through a scale from their
unwillingness to respond to the survey at all to their unwillingness to
respond to certain items.
