Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
I am senior researcher and head of the methodological research programme at FORS - Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences - Lausanne and member of the Swiss Household Panel (SHP) team. In addition, I am also lecturer in survey methodology and survey research at the Institute of Sociology at the University of Bern (Switzerland) and at the Swiss Summer School in Lugano. My research interests focus on unit and item nonresponse in cross-sectional and especially longitudinal designs, effects due to interviewers, incentives, mode, and language proficiency/acculturation issues, and income imputation methods. I use data from, e.g., the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the European Social Survey (ESS), the Swiss Household Panel (SHP), and the Cross National Equivalent File (CNEF). I am also interested in substantive issues such as health and subjective well-being.
