Abstract

In the paper we analyzed paradata and metadata of two business surveys: ICT or R&D survey, with the aim to understand the response behavior of the respondents. Starting with a descriptive analysis, we focus on characteristics of the surveys (i.e., number of questions, number of hard or soft prompts) and on the characteristics of the respondents (i.e., number of employees, enterprises involved in the sample in each survey edition) for both the surveys. Then we analyzed response rate by enterprise size, and we propose a set of indicators describing the behavior of the respondent and non-respondent enterprises. We also study paradata of the users as the time taken to compile the questionnaire, online and offline, with the goal to find some actions to improve the participation of the respondents and their perception of the official statistics
