This contribution provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of panel surveys and of fundamental considerations when deciding for or against a panel design.

It has been well documented that response rates to cross-sectional surveys have declined over the past few decades. It is less clear whether response rates to longitudinal surveys have experienced similar changes over time. This article examines trends in response rates in several major, national longitudinal surveys in the United States and abroad. The authors find that for most of these surveys, the wave-to-wave response rate has not declined. This article also describes the various approaches that these surveys use to minimize attrition.

Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über alle Panelstudien mit Gesundheitsbezug in Deutschland. Dabei wurden vier Kriterien zu Grunde gelegt: (1) Es müssen mindestens zwei Untersuchungswellen durchgeführt worden sein. (2) Die Feldphase der letzten Welle darf nicht länger als zehn Jahre zurückliegen. (3) Die Stichprobe muss einen Bezug auf die Gesamtbevölkerung erlauben und darf nicht nur Befragte mit einer bestimmten klinischen Diagnose umfassen. Das Untersuchungsinstrument muss Verhaltensaspekte berücksichtigen, die für die sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung relevant sind. (4) Wissenschaftler müssen auf die Daten zu akzeptablen Kosten zugreifen können. (ICEÜbers)

Employment Relations in South Korea provides readers with an overarching view of Korean employment relations and insight into recent changes; it also contributes to the general understanding of various phenomena and changes in Korean employment relations. To this end, contributors focus on presenting their findings in a manner that is easily accessible whilst offering in-depth quantitative analyses on specific topics or issues within the realm of employment relations. This book seeks to depict accurately and to understand the big picture of employment relations and the nature and characteristics of these relations. In doing so, this volume employs a multidisciplinary approach to examine employment relations from multiple dimensions through various methods.
