Abstract

This article provides a review of recent research on the quality of survey data. The paper reviews standard methodological treatments of survey errors and discusses the importance of developing population models for measurement errors. A model is presented which nests measurement errors within other non measurement survey errors: errors of coverage, sampling, and non response. The third and following section of the article focus the attention on non response.
