Dissertation on various mode-effect estimation methods based on re-interview studies.

Mode effects, in particular mode-specific measurement biases, hamper comparibility in time and between relevant subpopulations of statistics in mixed-mode surveys. Estimation of mode effect components is complicated by the inherent confounding of selection and measurement.

This dissertation proposes and evaluates estimation methods based on a large-scale re-interview study.
