Lockdown measures and time availability (MOSAiCH 2020)

Using data from the 2020 MOSAiCH study, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and previous survey waves, we investigated the impact of the lockdown in Switzerland on response rates and nonresponse bias. The study looked at the relationship between time availability and response propensity and the extent to which this varied as a result of the lockdown measures.
