R. C. Buse

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1973, vol. 55, issue 3, 503-508

Abstract: Described is a procedure using a personal letter to a questionnaire recipient to capture attention, develop rapport, and capitalize on this plus persistence to achieve a high response rate. Also examined is the question of bias associated with nonrespondents. The evidence presented supports the practice of pursuing high response rates.
