| Tiivistelmä: | This paper aims to analyse the extent and determinants (hereafter as: ext-and-detms.) of panel attrition (here as: attr.) in the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). In some countries the response rate has declined to about 50 percent which leads to concerns about the representativeness of the remaining participants. The ext-and-detms. of panel attr. are found to reveal high variability across countries as well as for different waves within one country. Differences were also found when comparing attr. behaviour across different surveys running parallel in the same countries, as was the case for Germany and the United Kingdom (UK). Response rates are found to depend strongly on whether households moved during the sample period and whether the interviewer in the sample period changed. Compared to these two influences, all other characteristics are of minor importance. |
