Researchers Seek to Participate inNational Household Screening

A consortium of entrepreneurial research centers isplanning a national panel study of business start-ups. Thefirst stage of the project will be screening 10,000– 20,000households to identify suitable respondents— thoseinvolved in a new firm start-up team. Two pretests haveindicated that we can expect 4% of re-spondents aged 18and older to meet the study criteria. Average phoneinterview length is 2 minutes: 1 minute for those who donot qualify, 20 minutes for those who do.

This project will go into the field in the winter or springof 1996. We are seeking to join another nationalhousehold screening effort to share costs and increasesample size for the first phase of data collection. Anongoing national sample of at least 500 households permonth may also be acceptable.

OMB Publications

Since its inception in 1975, the Federal Committee onStatistical Methodology of the Office of Statistical Policy,OMB, has produced a series of statistical policy workingpapers (SPWP) that investigate problems affecting thequality of federal statistical data and contain suggestionsfor improving statistical and survey methods in federalagencies. While the Committee's focus is federal datacollection, many of the techniques and approaches

included in these working papers are suitable for a widerange of survey organizations.

Two recent publications that may be of interest toreaders of Survey Research are

SPWP #22 (May 1994). "Report on Statistical Disclo-sure Limitation Methodology." This report concernsstatistical methods to limit disclosure in tables andpublic use microdata files produced by federal statisticalagencies. It includes a tutorial, guidelines, andrecommendations for good practice; recommendationsfor further research; and an annotated bibliography.

SPWP #21 (July 1993). "Indirect Estimators in FederalPrograms." An indirect estimator (sometimes called"small-area estimator" or "local-area estimator") usesvalues of the variable of interest from a domain and/ortime period other than the domain or time period of theestimate being produced. The purpose of this report isto document, in a manner that will facilitatecomparisons, the practices and estimation methods ofthe federal statistical programs that use indirectestimators. The methods and practices of eight specificprograms are described. The report concludes withrecommendations and cautions.
