      ABSTRACT

      This chapter explores some basic information on the European Social Survey (ESS), outlines response-enhancing efforts, and provide an overview of different strategies to detect non-response bias. It discusses the present focus on overall response rates and suggests alternative approaches to reduce non-response bias. Para-data and other auxiliary variables are used to analyze non-response. ESS para-data also make it possible to compare survey outcomes from cooperative respondents and reluctant respondents. The maximum non-response bias decreases as the response rates go up; non-response bias depends on two factors: response rates and the differences between respondents and non-respondents. Prescribing a high target response rate in a cross-national survey has a number of advantages. Stoop, Billiet et al. presented four standard methods to estimate non-response bias and to suggest ways of adjusting for it. A small expert group in the European Social Survey is currently considering issues such as target response rates, balanced response rates, para-data, fieldwork control, and non-response bias.
