Abstract

Recently, Schouten et al. (2022) synthesized literature and research on both design and analysis of
mixed-mode surveys in the context of official statistics. The COVID-19 pandemic has pointed very
clearly at the benefits and drawbacks of mixed-mode survey designs, especially when comparability over time is key. A brief account is given of the main themes in design and analysis of mixed-mode surveys, which may be seen as starting points for National Statistical Institutes trying to make their designs more robust.
