Abstract
The Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), sponsored by EIA, collects data on householder behaviors and housing characteristics that affect current and long-term energy usage and cost. To build a more responsive and cost-effective data platform, EIA is considering moving the RECS from the current personal interview mode to a Web/PAPI mixed-mode survey design. This paper describes an experiment to test two incentive options and four data collection protocols arrayed in 2x4 factorial design. A national epsem sample of 9,650 households was selected and divided equally among the eight treatments. The two incentive treatments included a $5 prepaid incentive in the first questionnaire mailing but varied the promised incentive amount from $10 to $20 paid after the completed questionnaire is received. The four protocol treatments are: (a) CAWI (or Web only), (b) Choice (which gives respondents the simultaneous choice of responding by either PAPI or Web), (c) Choice+ (similar to the Choice protocol but adds a $10 bonus incentive if the respondent chooses to respond by Web) and (d) CAWI/PAPI (which initially offers the Web only option, but allows the choice of Web or PAPI in nonresponse follow-up invitations). The paper reports the results of the study including which data collection protocol/incentive structure combination provides the highest quality estimates based upon a total survey error analysis.
