One of the important decisions which must be made in designing a survey to collect consumer expenditures data through household interviews is whether or not to designate one or more specific persons in each household as respondent(s), and, if so, which household member(s) should be so designated. This article presents some results on the effects of designating different household members as respondents, from an experimental study conducted in conjunction with a survey on residential alterations and repairs expenditures by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
