“…This approach is where the researcher knows the geographic location of the sample and will input aggregate data of the geographic area to supplement any missing data from nonrespondents or hard to reach groups. Similarly, research studies on criminal behavior and health care have used a substitution method to address nonresponse (Klemmack et al, 1974;Rossi et al, 1974). With this approach, you simply recruit more respondents to fill a block or quota of hard to reach groups and ignore those who did not respond to the survey.…”

Nonresponse error is a topic that draws little attention but can dramatically affect the ability to generalize results of a research study. The authors carried out an empirical investigation that took a critical look at the marketing discipline to see how nonresponse error was being addressed in three of the top five marketing journals. The data for this study consisted of a content analysis of all articles from the Journal of Marketing , the Journal of Marketing Research , and the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science from 1999 through 2003 to determine if and how nonresponse error was being addressed in academic marketing research. This article details the findings of this content analysis, i.e., what measures are being used to assess nonresponse error along with the literature cited in support of these measures. The article concludes with an overall analysis of how well this topic is being addressed along with further suggestions for assessing nonresponse in the field of marketing research.

“…The agreement or disagreement with the following statements forms the basis of the LSI: (1) I have gotten more breaks in life than most of the people I know (compared to the elderly neighbors and relatives), (2) As I look back on my life, I am fairly well satisfied, (3) My life could be happier than it is now, (4) I would not change my past even if I could, (5) These are the best years of my life, (6) Most of the things I do are boring or monotonous, (7) I have always felt interested in the things I have done, (8) I expect some interesting and pleasant things to happen to me in the future, (9) I feel old and somewhat tired, and (10) I have gotten pretty much what I expected out of life. The LSI is widely used (albeit not by economists), and found to be highly correlated with other constructs to measure related but different concepts such as social loneliness, social isolation and willingness to live [22,23].…”

This paper uses longitudinal survey data from Taiwan to investigate the predictors of elderly mortality. The empirical analysis confirms a relationship between socioeconomic characteristics and mortality, but this relationship weakens considerably when estimates are conditional on the health status at the time of the first wave survey. In terms of predictive power, the models with an activities of daily living index fare better (as opposed to models with self-evaluated health or self-reported illnesses). Having said that there is a payoff to the consideration of self-evaluated health jointly with other 'objective' health indicators. Other findings include a strong association between life satisfaction and survival, which prevails even after controlling for other explanatory variables.

“…Later factor analysis (Adams, 1969) did not support the existence of this structure. A second analysis (Klemmack, Carlson, & Edwards, 1974) revealed that the index is not distinct from a measure of social isolation. Using a five-step scale, judges rated transcripts of the fourth round of interviews on each of the five components and achieved 94 percent exact agreement or disagreement of one step.…”
