Correlates of Item Nonresponse
Article Abstract:
Consumption behavior is studied by marketing researchers with social psychological theories and concepts. These social psychological theories and concepts are being applied to interpretation of nonresponse in survey instruments. Item nonresponse can cause systematic bias, rendering complex data adjustment. Nonresponse in surveys can create a bias that involves individual difference characteristics. The bias potential can be reduced through development of self-image based theories of item nonresponse behavior. An effort to reduce item nonresponse acted upon in the data collection stage should be initiated.

Salvaging Superfund
Article Abstract:
Superfund was designed to make industrial polluters clean up their facilities or face litigation. However, most polluters have failed to take action; the number of 'potentially responsible parties' is about 25,000, roughly the same as in 1986. Rather than spend huge sums on lengthy litigation and expensive remedial action, a more practical idea is to tax industrial businesses and use the money for toxic waste cleanup.
