Abstract

Selection bias is an ongoing concern in large-scale panel surveys where the cumulative effects of unit nonresponse increase at each subsequent wave of data collection. A second source of selection bias in panel studies is the inability to link respondents to supplementary administrative records, either because respondents do not consent to link or the matching algorithm fails to locate their administrative records. Both sources of selection bias can affect the validity of conclusions drawn from these data sources. In this article, I discuss recently proposed methods of reducing both sources of selection bias in panel studies, with a special emphasis on reducing selection bias in the US Health and Retirement Study.

减少大规模小组调查中的无反应和数据链接同意偏差。

选择偏差在大规模小组调查中是一个持续关注的问题，其中单位无反应的累积效应在随后的每一波数据收集中都会增加。小组研究中选择偏差的第二个来源是无法将受访者与补充行政记录联系起来，要么是因为受访者不同意联系，要么匹配算法未能找到他们的行政记录。选择偏差的两个来源都会影响从这些数据源得出的结论的有效性。在这篇文章中，我讨论了最近提出的减少小组研究中选择偏差的两种来源的方法，特别强调了减少美国健康和退休研究中的选择偏差。
