论文摘要
本文考虑如何从敏感的调查问题中获取信息。首先，我们彻底评估列表实验（LE），这是实验文献中有关敏感问题的主要方法。我们的经验结果表明，在大多数调查中都违反了识别LE中敏感信息所需的假设。接下来，我们提出了一种新型的调查方法，称为多重响应技术（MRT），以从敏感问题中汲取信息。我们要求所有受访者回答与敏感信息有关的三个问题。该技术可在分类水平上恢复敏感信息，同时仍允许在调查响应中进行任意错误报告。 MRT的应用提供了有关性取向和女同性恋，同性恋，双性恋和变性者（LGBT）相关情感的新经验证据。
This paper considers how to elicit information from sensitive survey questions. First we thoroughly evaluate list experiments (LE), a leading method in the experimental literature on sensitive questions. Our empirical results demonstrate that the assumptions required to identify sensitive information in LE are violated for the majority of surveys. Next we propose a novel survey method, called Multiple Response Technique (MRT), for eliciting information from sensitive questions. We require all of the respondents to answer three questions related to the sensitive information. This technique recovers sensitive information at a disaggregated level while still allowing arbitrary misreporting in survey responses. An application of the MRT provides novel empirical evidence on sexual orientation and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT)-related sentiment.
