MILWAUKEE, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Survey results are only as good as the sample from which responses were taken. In a new set of papers featured in the Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, researchers explore the differences between various survey samples and how these differences manifest themselves in valuation surveys. The Whitehead et al. paper compares a probability-based internet sample (Knowledge Panel) to an opt-in internet sample for a contingent-valuation survey on passive-use losses in Florida stemming from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The Penn, Petrolia, and Fannin paper compares a probability-based internet sample (Knowledge Panel) to a "snowball" convenience sample generated using word of mouth and social media for a contingent-valuation survey of willingness to pay for an app that provides information on Gulf Coast beach conditions. The Sandstrom-Mistry et al. paper compares a probability-based sample (based on USPS mailing addresses) to two opt-in samples (MTurk and Qualtrics) for a contingent-valuation survey on improved water quality among Michigan residents. The Goodrich et al. paper documents recent survey efforts that were inundated with "bots" and offers guidance for mitigating such fraudulent responses. "Bots" are automated responses stemming from computer software that seeks out and completes online surveys offering participant incentives, thereby generating income or other benefits for the programmer, but providing meaningless responses to the survey.
