[Quantifying the results of tendency surveys: a comparison among different procedures]

Abstract

The paper compares different procedures to convert in ordinary quantitative indicators the results of qualitative tendency surveys. The main result is that different procedures tend to produce quantitative indicators with a very similar dynamics. A new quantification method based on the unobservable variables approach is also proposed.
