Repeated surveys -- a technique for asking the same questions to different samples of people -- allows researchers the opportunity to analyze changes in society as a whole. This book begins with a discussion of the classic issue of how to separate cohort, period, and age effects. It then covers methods for modeling aggregate trends; two methods for estimating cohort replacement's contribution to aggregate trends, a decomposition model for clarifying how microchange contributes to aggregate change, and simple models that are useful for the assessment of changing individual-level effects.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Bad choice of the title,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Analyzing Repeated Surveys (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences) (Paperback)
The title of the book should be: "Analyzing social changes through repeated surveys", because the document doesn't explain how to manage problems associated with repeated surveys; instead, it concentrates in problems associated to identify social changes using, as statistical instrument, repeated surveys.
