数据缺失是经济调查中一个越来越重要的问题，特别是在试图衡量家庭财富时。然而，一些相对简单的新调查方法，如后续括号，似乎明显提高了家庭经济数据的质量。括号代表对资产问题的部分回答，显然大大减少了项目无回答。括号还提供了一种补救措施，以处理不可解释的无答复偏差，这是经济调查数据的一个关键问题。
Missing data are an increasingly important problem in economic surveys, especially when trying to measure household wealth. However, some relatively simple new survey methods such as follow-up brackets appear to appreciably improve the quality of household economic data. Brackets represent partial responses to asset questions and apparently significantly reduce item nonresponse. Brackets also provide a remedy to deal with non-ignorable nonresponse bias, a critical problem with economic survey data.
