#ESRA2025 folks: Looking for data from a #probabilitypanel ? Consider The Social Study ☺️

Gert Thielemans (University of Antwerp):"The impact of SMS as a postnotification tool on response rates-Evidence from a natural experiment"
📲No large effects of SMS-reminders on response rate
📲Possibly help increase response of vulnerable groups
📲Possibly help slow down decreasing response over time

Amelie Van Pottelberge (Ghent University): "Testing the impact of a financial incentive for early bird registration for a probability panel"
🐣EB incentives increase recruitment rate in push-to-web, not in face-to-face
🐣Do not help recruit hard-ro-reach groups
🐣Boost participation in future surveys
