Development and testing of business survey questionnaires: use of qualitative methods in national statistical institutes
Development and testing of business survey questionnaires: use of qualitative methods in national statistical institutes
Qualitative research methods are regarded as an important tool to develop and test survey questionnaires, as they provide useful information for identifying and understanding errors in the response process. However, little is known about how these methods are implemented in practice, especially in the context of establishment surveys. This paper aims to give more insight into whether and how statistical agencies use qualitative methods for the development of establishment survey questionnaires. The paper presents the results of an international survey of national statistical institutes. The survey addressed several aspects of the use of qualitative methods for developing establishment survey questionnaires, including sampling and recruitment procedures, methods for the collection and analysis of the data, and documentation of the results.

Abstract
Qualitative research methods are regarded as an important tool to develop and test survey questionnaires, as they provide useful information for identifying and understanding errors in the response process. However, little is known about how these methods are implemented in practice, especially in the context of establishment surveys. This paper aims to give more insight into whether and how statistical agencies use qualitative methods for the development of establishment survey questionnaires. The paper presents the results of an international survey of national statistical institutes. The survey addressed several aspects of the use of qualitative methods for developing establishment survey questionnaires, including sampling and recruitment procedures, methods for the collection and analysis of the data, and documentation of the results.
