The presentation explores how survey design can generate “informative” missing values, reflecting a conscious choice by respondents to remain silent when rigid question wording fails to capture their true intentions. It then addresses how to handle this issue, arguing that such decisions are not merely technical, but deeply political choices that directly impact the democratic legitimacy of the outcomes.

Abstract
The presentation explores how survey design can generate “informative” missing values, reflecting a conscious choice by respondents to remain silent when rigid question wording fails to capture their true intentions. It then addresses how to handle this issue, arguing that such decisions are not merely technical, but deeply political choices that directly impact the democratic legitimacy of the outcomes.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
