Identifying the Urban Poor
During the last few years, interest in overall economic growth as the best measure and object of development has increasingly given way to a preoccupation with the distribution of income and thus with how the benefits of economic growth are shared. Within this general concern is a specific preoccupation with the poorest families in less-developed countries, who may remain in dire poverty despite significant increases in income per head or other m…
Can Consumer Research be Interdisciplinary
S hould consumer research be interdisciplinary, might be a more appropriate beginning for such a discussion.In view of the ever widening sphere of subject area disciplines which have an impact on consumer behavior, and the resulting overlap in approaches to particular problems, we assume the answer to this question to be clearly in the affirmative.By now there is also the widespread recognition that consumer attitudes and behavior are influenced …
Research by Convenience
ConvenienceI n economics the phenomenon of a poor currency driving out a good currency is widely known, and goes under the name of Gresham's Law.In consumer research, a similar phenomenon may be taking place.This phenomenon is the tendency for researchers to turn increasingly to convenience samples and forego probability samples.The simple rationale seems to be that consumer behavior is a basic form of human behavior, and it therefore makes littl…

Current Legal Aspects of Doing Business in Latin America, The New Challenge of Latin American Nationalism to Foreign Investment-Present and Future. The Institute inquired into and attempted to provide the means of understanding recent changes in the investment climate together with the new social restlessness, the new economic and political nationalism, and motivations underlying these changes in Latin America
Husband-Wife Influence in Family Purchasing Behavior
Using the concept of a family financial officer (FFO), the family is found to be not homogeneous in its financial and purchase behavior. Thus, if the husband is the FFO, the couple is more likely to save a higher proportion of income and in variable dollar forms, and to purchase automobiles less frequently

Item Nonresponse in a Consumer Survey
Does the fact that only a third of the respondents answering a mail questionnaire answer all items reduce substantially the reliability of the results? This is a study of 14,600 usable questionnaires from a 40,000 mailing. It analyzes item nonresponses by characteristics of respondents and by type, position, and repetition of questions. Robert Ferber is Director of the Survey Research Laboratory and Research Professor of Economics and Marketing a…

The Accuracy of Aggregate Savings Functions in the Postwar Years
A RECENT study has attempted to provide a critical evaluation of some of the main savings, or consumption, functions proposed for the United States and has assessed the predictive accuracy of different forms of seven of these functions as applied to the early postWorld War II years, I947 to the first half of I950.' The results of this study are subject to the limitation of being based, in the main, on predictions made over a relatively short peri…
On the Stability of Consumer Expectations
HOW stable are consumer expectations? In view of the growing awareness of a relationship between expectations and consumer buying, and the concomitant rising popularity of intentions surveys and attitudinal surveys as indicators of consumer purchases, this question assumes a new importance. To what extent, for example, can attitudes and expectations ascertained at one moment of time be extrapolated six months or a year in advance, as is implicitl…
Detection and Correction of Interviewer Bias
In the study reported here, interviewer bias was found to depend at least as much upon the questions being asked as on the interviewer. The authors describe a method for finding and correcting that bias. Robert Ferber is a Research Associate Professor in the Bureau of Economics and Business Research and in the Department of Economics at the University of Illinois. Hugh G. Wales is Associate Professor of Marketing in the Marketing Division of the …

The Problem of Bias in Mail Returns
The desirability—and sometimes the necessity—of using mail ballots under certain conditions has led to considerable experimentation with methods of detecting or compensating for bias in this type of survey. This article summarizes the literature on the subject, and examines several methods which have been proposed to increase the reliability of mail surveys. It then goes on to develop a method for detecting bias in mail returns by applying "rando…
