WEDNESDAY 20 JULY 89larger naonal research project. In the paper the strategies adopted by the research team in order to minimizeand esmate the impact of non-sampling errors on results are discussed, with reference to the modelspecificaon, the frame idenficaon, the measurement process and the non responses treatment.2.23.4 Behavior coding and response latency measurement as methods to detect methodologically-inducedvariaon in surveysJ. Mayerl 1 , P. Sellke 11 University of Stugart, GermanyBehavior coding and measurement of response latencies are two promising unobtrusive methods which canbe used to reach a beer understanding of respondents’ behavior and thus to enhance the data quality ofcomputer-assisted surveys.2.24 Measuring economic variablesTo be held on July 20, 2011 from: 11:00 to 12:30, in room 412.Coordinated by: Francesco Laganà - University of Lausanne, Switzerland2.24.1 Labor market dynamics and panel arionA. Mosthaf 11 Instute for Employment Research (IAB), GermanyThis study invesgates the bias produced by panel arion in models esmang transions between unemploymentand employment. The literature suggests that this bias can be decomposed into a selecon effectand a causal effect of the labor market transions on the probability of panel arion. Models esmang transionrates between labor market states are associated with the selecon effect when unobserved variableshave an influence on both the probability to be in one of the examined labor market states and the probabilityof panel arion. The causal effect exists if individuals changing from unemployment to employmenthave a higher probability of unit nonresponse, for instance because they are less oen at home. We comparedifferent methods for the correcon of arion: propensity weights and Heckman selecon models...2.24.2 Fools rush in where angels fear to tread: Are we ready to choose ALLBUS for analyzing incomedata?M. Terwey 11 GESIS - Leibniz Instute for the Social Sciences, GermanyThis paper offers some informaon about chances and risks in invesgaons which use rather similar cross sec-onal surveys. Income is taken as an example of very important and rather solid stascs for many sociologicalanalyses.2.24.3 Evaluaon of material and economic situaon of older generaons based on EU-SILC surveys inselected Central and Eastern European countriesJ. Perek-Bialas 11 Warsaw School of Economics, PolandThe aim of the paper is to discuss how the EU-SILC surveys (2007 and 2008) could be used in analysis of thesocio-economic situaon of older persons for some countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Lithuania,Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia). Having the possibility to use individual data from EU-SILC2007 and 2008, we performed an analysis but not only just for presentaon results related to the topic ofquality of life (material deprivaon) and subjecve well being (the queson of ’meeng ends’). We focus also
