Abstract Abstract Web-based survey present social and economical researches with many advantages in term of speed and cost compared with any other “conventional” methods for collecting data. However, online questionnaires data quality can be affected by nonresponse and errors tied to a self-administered questionnaire. For this reason, it is interesting to measure the marginal effect of such data collection mode on survey statistics, assuming all other attributes of the design are the same as in the survey to which the web survey is compared. For measuring the marginal mode effect a panel survey is required since the respondents at all waves can be compared and the differences, most likely, can be attributed to the communication mode itself, even though other possible reasons for differences have to be opportunely evaluated. This paper reports the results of a research project that aims to collect information on the transition from university to work of a panel of graduates in Economics at University of Naples “Parthenope” interviewed in two times with different data collection modes: i) by telephone interview at wave 1 in 2003; ii) by web questionnaire at wave 2 in 2005. The behaviours and the responses of the same individuals to the Web and the telephone survey are compared in order to measure the marginal effect mode of the web survey.
