Abstract

La comparación de encuestas presenta problemas metodológicos recurrentes, dentro de los que destacan particularmente: i) las dificultades asociadas a la falta de continuidad, bien por el añadido de nuevas preguntas o por la eliminación de otras; ii) las dificultades propias en la selección de las variables a comparar; iii) la necesidad de recodificación entre cuestionarios no coincidentes, y iv) la discrecionalidad en las unidades de medida de las variables. Así, para la investigación en métodos cuantitativos se precisan procedimientos que permitan recuperar la estructura factorial, realizar comparaciones entre variables y recodificar las unidades de medida y en la escala, todo ello en distintos periodos. Para evaluar en qué medida se mantiene la estructura factorial, en el presente artículo se proponen medidas de bondad del ajuste y contrastes propios del análisis factorial confirmatorio, a lo que se añade una aplicación novedosa del principio de parsimonia a los estadísticos RMSEA, FIT y BIC, a través de la conocida regla del codo en el gráfico de sedimentación. La propuesta metodológica se valida a través de dos publicaciones del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) de distintos años y centradas en el fenómeno del fraude fiscal.
