UK Australia Network Promoting Longitudinal

项目摘要

This proposal would create an international partnership network between the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex and the Universities of Melbourne and Queensland in Australia. The objective of this network is to build and exchange knowledge focused on the link between panel survey methods and substantive analysis in key policy areas. The funding in this proposal would cover travel, subsistence and costs associated with the organisation of a meeting, two workshops and international researcher exchange visits. The funding would not be used for research or for staff costs. Those who work trying to improve the quality of survey data generally use a framework of "Total Survey Error", which separates the different types of errors that surveys can have. These errors affect all surveys but are particularly significant on longitudinal surveys where the same people are being interviewed over time. Research into these errors generally focus on summary measures such as the means and percentages generated by the survey. However, most substantive research into important policy areas relies on types of multivariate analysis which use information about the distributions of responses within the data (regression, logit or probit models). The impact of survey error on estimates derived from such multivariate methods cannot be understood by focusing only on marginal summary measures. The results of substantive researchers using multivariate analyses may be seriously distorted by errors that arise due to the design of the survey, for example, if the way that the survey was organised influences the answers that people give in different ways. Little is known about how the design of panel surveys affects the stability of substantive answers across time, particularly in the key policy areas of employment, health, well-being, poverty and family dynamics. To our knowledge research on the causes of longitudinal inconsistencies and, most importantly, their substantive effects is lacking.This network will provide opportunities to forge long-term relationships with Australian colleagues, to exchange ideas and to promote research on these topics. The network will, first, target methods for improving data quality, both during data collection and after collection. The network will then aim to develop sustainable research collaborations focused on the effect of improved data quality in substantive research, such as measures of employment change, changes in health or well-being, or family dynamics over time. The funding from this scheme would establish the infrastructure of an international partnership which would enable researchers to travel between the UK and Australia to collaborate on research projects. These research projects will be funded separately. The funding from this scheme would establish the infrastructure of an international partnership which would enable researchers to travel between the UK and Australia to collaborate on research projects. These research projects will be funded separately. The level of commitment to the project shown by the international partners is demonstrated by the level of proposed co-funding. The international partners are pledging direct financial contributions of up to £21,000 over the three year project.

该提案将在埃塞克斯大学社会与经济研究所（ISER）与澳大利亚的墨尔本大学和昆士兰州大学之间建立一个国际合作伙伴网络。该网络的目标是建立和交流知识，重点是小组调查方法与关键政策领域实质性分析之间的联系。本提案中的供资将包括与组织一次会议、两次讲习班和国际研究人员互访有关的差旅费、生活费和费用。这笔资金将不会用于研究或人事费。那些试图提高调查数据质量的人通常使用“总调查误差”的框架，该框架将调查可能存在的不同类型的误差分开。这些误差影响所有的调查，但在纵向调查中特别重要，因为在纵向调查中，同一个人在一段时间内接受采访。对这些错误的研究一般集中在汇总措施，如调查产生的手段和百分比。然而，对重要政策领域的大多数实质性研究依赖于多变量分析，这些分析使用数据中有关答复分布的信息（回归、logit或probit模型）。调查误差对从这种多变量方法得出的估计数的影响不能通过只关注边际汇总测量来理解。使用多变量分析的实质性研究人员的结果可能会被由于调查设计而产生的错误严重扭曲，例如，如果调查的组织方式影响人们以不同方式给出的答案。小组调查的设计如何影响长期实质性答案的稳定性，特别是在就业、保健、福祉、贫穷和家庭动态等关键政策领域，人们对此知之甚少。就我们的知识而言，缺乏对纵向不一致的原因以及最重要的是其实质性影响的研究，这一网络将提供与澳大利亚同事建立长期关系、交流思想和促进这些专题研究的机会。该网络将首先针对在数据收集期间和收集之后提高数据质量的方法。然后，该网络将致力于发展可持续的研究合作，重点是提高数据质量对实质性研究的影响，如就业变化的措施，健康或福祉的变化，或家庭动态随着时间的推移。该计划的资金将建立国际伙伴关系的基础设施，使研究人员能够在英国和澳大利亚之间旅行，合作开展研究项目。这些研究项目将单独资助。该计划的资金将建立国际伙伴关系的基础设施，使研究人员能够在英国和澳大利亚之间旅行，合作开展研究项目。这些研究项目将单独资助。国际合作伙伴对项目的承诺程度体现在拟议的共同供资水平上。国际合作伙伴承诺在三年期项目中提供高达21，000英镑的直接财政捐款。
