  • Coverage bias in European telephone surveys [Elektronski vir] : developments of landline and mobile phone coverage across countries and over time
    Mohorko, Anja ; Leeuw, Edith Desirée de ; Hox, J. J.
    With the decrease of landline phones in the last decade, telephone survey methodologists face a new challenge to overcome coverage bias. In this study we investigate coverage error for telephone ... surveys in Europe over time and compare two situations: classical surveys that rely on landline only with surveys that also include mobile phones. We analyzed Eurobarometer data, which are collected by means of face-to-face interviews and contain information on ownership of landline and mobile phones. We show that for the period 2000-2009, time has a significant effect on both mobile phone penetration and coverage bias. In addition, the countriesʼ development significantly affects the pace of these changes.
