| Sample Representativeness: Implications for Administering and Testing Stated Preference Surveys |
October 2, 2006
An RFF Workshop
On October 2, 2006, Resources for the Future brought together experts in survey methodology and experienced stated preference surveys practitioners to share their knowledge, insights and experiences regarding concerns about sample representativeness in stated preference surveys. Particular attention was paid to the implications of guidelines and standards recently adopted by the Office of Management and Budget on surveys conducted by government agencies.
A proceedings document summarizing the discussions, along with concluding thoughts from the organizers, has been completed and is available below.
