We've written a new short paper measuring marginal propensities to consume using data from @usociety COVID study and investigating a novel question - how might stimulus payments affect private transfers *between* households https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2022.110944
(although it may have been "quince" - apologies)

The devices respondents used to complete the web survey do not explain the mode effects either. Simplifying the consent request, by reducing the reading difficulty, increases understanding of the request, it does not increase consent in either mode.
Using audio-recordings of the face-to-face interviews, we find that verbal behaviours of interviewers do not explain the mode effects: respondents only rarely ask questions or express concern, and interviewers only rarely offer additional information about the data linkage.
Online respondents less likely to understand the data linkage request, less likely to process the consent request thoroughly, and more likely to be concerned
about privacy and data security.
Consent rates online around 30 percentage points lower than face-to-face - but not due to selection of different types of respondent into each mode.

UK Census 2021 results on national identity were released yesterday. This could be one of the highest profile examples ever of a response category order effect! Folks, if you want to measure change/differences, keep the questionnaire the same!
