Subject: Re: seeking advice on Panel Survey



Sorry but I'm travelling starting Thursday afternoon and really
unavailable tomorrow.

Is the survey really a panel survey, i.e. following the same respondents
over time with multiple interviews?  How was the sample drawn?

A basic book on sampling that you would bfind readable is the one by
Sharon  Lohr.  For work on longitudinal modeling see

The most famous panel survey is described at
