Abstract
This study investigates the amount of heterogeneity in item non-response across various income and wealth questions. Wide variety in item non-response rates may be seen in simple descriptive statistics. This is confirmed in empirical models of item non-response behavior: question-specific fixed effects are statistically significant and the association of covariates with item non-response outcomes differs significantly across outcomes.
