Selects, 2015 and 2011
In 2015, I was invited by Nicolas Pekari and Georg Lutz (FORS) to advise on the design of methodological research linked to the Swiss Election Study. This included a mixed mode experiment and a comparison of data quality between the Selects studies and other non-probability online panels. We had previously conducted research in collaboration with Oliver Lipps, investigating selection errors in the 2011 Selects study, using administrative data from the sampling frame based on the Swiss population register.

Selects, 2019
In 2019, we conducted a large-scale survey experiment alongside the Swiss Election Study panel survey to test the potential value of using a smartphone app to collect data in the context of an online election study.
