Analyzing contact sequences in call record data.

Analyzing contact sequences in call record data

This is the documentation page for "Kreuter, Frauke and Ulrich Kohler (under revision): Analyzing contact sequences in call record data. Potential and limitations of sequence indicators for non- response adjustments in the European Social Survey. "

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 all analysis made for the paper. For this you need to download all do-files.

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.
