Introduction A Framework for Investigating Micro Data Quality, with Application to South African Labour Market Household Surveys Questionnaire Design and Response Propensities for Labour Income Micro Data Univariate Multiple Imputation for Coarse Employee Income Data Conclusion: How Data Quality Affects our Understanding of the Earnings Distribution

Sommario/riassunto

This open access book demonstrates how data quality issues affect all surveys and proposes methods that can be utilised to deal with the observable components of survey error in a statistically sound manner. This book begins by profiling the post-Apartheid period in South Africa's history when the sampling frame and survey methodology for household surveys was undergoing periodic changes due to the changing geopolitical landscape in the country. This book profiles how different components of error had disproportionate magnitudes in different survey years, including coverage error, sampling error, nonresponse error, measurement error, processing error and adjustment error.
