Notes
This paper contains a discussion of the debate over the sample design of the BHPS, the most contentious aspect of the whole research design. The paper includes a summary (by A.P.M. Coxon, Louise Corti and David Rose) of the debate which took place in the Centre's Design Advisory Group and its final resolution, together with papers from Richard Davies and Robert Crouchley, arguing for a simple random sample on analytic grounds; Tim Holt, Chris Skinner and Fred Smith, arguing for a more eclectic approach; and Barry Hedges on the costs and consequences of different designs.
