 Evaluation of changing in respondents' participation in the surveys of information and communication technologies usage in enterprises (ICT) and research and development for business enterprises (R&D)Claudio Ceccarelli, Gabriella Fazzi and Samanta Pietropaoli RIEDS - Rivista Italiana di Economia, Demografia e Statistica - The Italian Journal of Economic, Demographic and Statistical Studies, 2022, vol. 76, issue 1, 107-118 Abstract: In the paper we analyzed paradata and metadata of two business surveys: ICT or R&D survey, with the aim to understand the response behavior of the respondents. Starting with a descriptive analysis, we focus on characteristics of the surveys (i.e., number of questions, number of hard or soft prompts) and on the characteristics of the respondents (i.e., number of employees, enterprises involved in the sample in each survey edition) for both the surveys. Then we analyzed response rate by enterprise size, and we propose a set of indicators describing the behavior of the respondent and non-respondent enterprises. We also study paradata of the users as the time taken to compile the questionnaire, online and offline, with the goal to find some actions to improve the participation of the respondents and their perception of the official statistics Date: 2022 Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:ite:iteeco:220109 Ordering information: This journal article can be ordered from Access Statistics for this article More articles in RIEDS - Rivista Italiana di Economia, Demografia e Statistica - The Italian Journal of Economic, Demographic and Statistical Studies from SIEDS Societa' Italiana di Economia Demografia e Statistica Contact information at EDIRC. |
