Effect of a pre-paid incentive on response rates to an Address-Based Sampling (ABS) Web-Mail survey

Abstract: The effects of incentives on response rates, web completion rates and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics were investigated in a randomized experiment for a general population economic attitude survey. The experiment was conducted in two groups: 1) fresh cases from Address based sampling (ABS) postal addresses, and 2) recontact cases that were interviewed six months ago. The prepaid cash incentive condition was crossed with a set of Web-Mail survey contact strategies. While the fresh cases were conta… Show more

“…Indeed, several studies show based on multivariate regressions that persons with comparatively low socio-economic resources can be mobilized through cash incentives (Becker et al, 2019;Göritz, 2008;Göritz & Luthe, 2013;Schröder et al, 2013) and lotteries (Göritz & Luthe, 2013). Other studies, however, find no statistically significant demographic differences between various incentive groups (Becker & Mehlkop, 2011;Suzer-Gurtekin et al, 2016). Gajic et al (2012), for example, do not find statistically significant differences in characteristics like gender, education, or household income in mean comparisons.…”

“…A University of Michigan series of experiments in increasing web-mailed survey completion rates between 2011 and 2012 found "fresh" first-time requests to do an online survey saw 17.4% completed compared with 34.5% when offered a US$5 incentive. Recontacting people saw 50.3% respond with no incentive, rising to 70.1% with an incentive (Suzer-Gurtekin, McBee et al 2016).…”
