  1. Attrition and Selection of alteri Respondents in the pairfam panel • Ulrich Krieger, SHARE MEA University of Mannheim Mannheim Research Institute for the Economics of Aging www.mea.uni-mannheim.de

  2. Outline • Motivation • The pairfam Panel • Overview of cooperation and response in partner survey • Model of cooperation in wave 2 2

  3. Motivation • Attempt to include alteri respondents in surveys like partners, parents or siblings raises questions on the selection process of these additional survey members. • Reviewers continue to criticize the selectivity. The processes need to be better understood. • Weighting • Limitations of research • Recent analysis with the Netherlands Kindship Panel Study show no bias in models using data of children (Kalmijn & Liefbroer 2011). But how to model the error in the sample? 3

  4. The pairfam Panel • First two waves of the German family panel study pairfam. • Design: • Register based sample of resident population. • Three age cohorts: 14-17, 24-27, 34-37 • CAPI study administered by Infratest • Partner survey • All respondents in a partnership are asked for consent to approach their partners for an interview. • within or outside of the household • PAPI questionnaire handed out, left behind with main respondent or mailed to partner. • collected by the interviewer or returned by mail 4

  5. The Role of the Interviewer • Interviewers are encouraged • to administer the partner survey the way preferred by respondents • to occupy the partner with the partner survey during the main respondents CAPI questionnaire. • to collect the questionnaire in person • Request the partners to participate in person whenever possible 5

  6. the pairfam panel - wave two • Anchor: monotonous design, only respondents re-approached. • Partners: Same design as in wave one. • Consent request to Anchor, then partners are contacted. • Partners can be the same as in wave one if the relationship did hold. • Partners who refused to answer in wave one are contacted again. 6

  7. Cooperation and Response - Wave one 7

  8. Cooperation and Response - Wave one 8

  9. Two error sources: • Selection of main respondent and • Nonresponse of Partner • Both processes are probably not independent of each other • Unsure about how to model the Data • Here: logistic Regression on wave 2 cooperation, concentrating on main respondents keeping the same partner over the 2 waves. 9

  10. Descriptive Statistic 10

  11. Log. Regression on W2 Partner Coop (only ‘stable’ Rel.)

  12. Conclusion • Cooperation and Consent in Wave 1 do influence cooperation in wave 2 • How to better describe the selection process? • Here I focused on stable relationships. How to include all relationships, new partners? 12
