Survey methods
Getting to the opinions
Research concerns the development of new methods to address problems in the social sciences and challenges faced by government statistical agencies in survey and census methodology. Much of our ongoing research is put into practice in surveys around the world; for example, to estimate the numbers of people on low pay in the UK, and to produce estimates of employment and unemployment for the states in the USA.
