Surveys from inside: An assessment of unit nonresponse bias with internal criteria

This is the documentation page for "Ulrich Kohler (2007): Surveys from inside: An assessment of unit nonresponse bias with internal criteria. Survey Research Methods 1 (2)

On this page you may found all Stata do-files for the analyses in the paper. The names of the do-files required for each analysis are cited in the paper.

With the master do-file you can replicate every analysis of the paper. For this you need to download all do-files. This is most easily be done with the following Stata commands

. net from http://kohler.wzb.de/pub/repreas07/
. net get do

In what follows you find the complete list of the do-files. They appear in the order of their making during the preparation of the paper.
