本文的目的是分析在欧洲共同体家庭小组（ECHP）面板磨损的程度和决定因素。事实上，在一些国家，经过五次浪潮后，回复率已下降到50%左右，这导致了对剩余参与者代表性的担忧。我们发现面板磨损的程度和决定因素揭示了各国之间以及一个国家内不同波浪的高度可变性。在同一国家平行进行的不同调查中，也发现了差异，比如德国和英国的情况。调查发现，回复率在很大程度上取决于家庭在样本期间是否搬家，以及样本期间的访谈者是否改变。与这两种影响相比，所有其他特征都是次要的。尽管有这些不同的流失率，但对收入的分析并没有偏颇，对国家结果的排名也没有受到干扰。
The aim of the paper is to analyse the extent and determinants of panel attrition in the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). The fact that, after five waves, in some countries the response rate has declined to about 50%, leads to concerns about the representativeness of the remaining participants. We find the extent and determinants of panel attrition to reveal high variability across countries as well as for different waves within one country. Differences were also found when comparing attrition behaviour across different surveys running parallel in the same countries, as was the case for Germany and the United Kingdom (UK). Response rates are found to depend strongly on whether households moved during the sample period and whether the interviewer in the sample period changed. Compared to these two influences, all other characteristics are of minor importance. Despite these different attrition rates, neither is the analysis of income biased, nor is the ranking of national results disturbed.
