"In wave 6 of the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) adult starting cohort, an incentive
experiment was conducted that randomly switched respondent cash incentives from
promised to (partly) prepaid for half of the eligible sample. This research note examines
the effects that this change in incentive scheme had on response rates, on sample composition
in terms of some key survey variables, and fieldwork efforts by interviewers. We find
moderately sized positive effects on overall response rates. The switch in incentive scheme
appears to be particularly effective in raising response rates of low educated individuals
and those with low reading and mathematics competencies, subgroups that participated
underproportionately in prior waves. This differential reaction to the changed incentive
scheme therefore leads to a somewhat more balanced sample composition along these dimensions.
In line with prior studies, effects on fieldwork efforts such as the number of contact
attempts to obtain an interview could be found, but are small in magnitude." (author's abstract)... weniger
