Abstract

Nonresponse is an important indicator of TSE, and incentives are widely used to increase response rates. This chapter discusses the theories behind incentive effects, discusses the possible forms of incentives and related effects, estimates the optimal amount of incentives, handles different modes of data collection, the relation between incentives and data quality, and ends with best practices and a view toward the future in order to help survey researchers in identifying if, how and how much incentives should be used in their surveys.
