Abstract
Unit non-response of surveys reduces the efficiency of the estimates and also causes non-response bias especially when there is large difference between respondents and non-respondents. Non-response weighting adjustments have usually been used to compensate for non-response. It is not easy to examine the non-response bias as well as to obtain information on the non-respondents in sample surveys. A household panel survey, called The Survey of Household Finances, was conducted in both 2010 and 2011. In this paper, we assume that non-response households in Wave 2 have strong non-response (non-cooperative) tendency. We classify those households into non-response households in Wave 1. Under this assumption, the characteristics of non-response households, the non-response bias and the effect of non-response adjustments are investigated.
