What are the non-response rates by round?
The response rate in the survey of households in the sample of dwelling units was 87.6% in Round 5; 82.1% in Round 6; 79.4% in Round 7; 77.7% in Round 8; 75.3% in Round 9; 57.9% in Round 10; 57.3% in Round 11; 54.8% in Round 12; 54.3% in Round 13; 50.8% in Round 14. The response rate for individuals within interviewed households exceeded 97% in each round; thus the response rate for all individuals within sampled dwellings units was most likely just slightly lower than the corresponding figure for dwelling units. The response rate for Rounds 10-14 cannot be directly compared with the response rate of the previous rounds. Because of the high attrition in the cross-sectional sample in Moscow and St. Petersburg during rounds 5-9, in Round 10 the cross-sectional sample in Moscow and St. Petersburg was replaced by a 100% new sample (using the same sample design). The comparison of the response rate can be made only for all other areas except Moscow and St. Petersburg cities. The response ra
