RMI HIES Experiment: Financial Implication of the Different Survey Methodologies Pacific Statistics Methods Board 23 May 2019 Auckland, New Zealand Michael K. Sharp John K. Gibson Kristen Himelein

Field schedule per arm Each arm requires a different field schedule and therefore the cost of implementation differ. In the RMI HIES Experiment, each enumerator was able to interview: 18 households per enumeration round (3-week period) for Arms 1 (7-day recall, one visit), 4 (PAPI diary, low monitoring) and 5 (7-day recall, two visits); and 6 households per enumeration round for arms 2 (CAPI diary, high monitoring) and 3 (PAPI diary, high monitoring). To achieve the sample in the allocated time, more field staff are required under the high monitoring diary scenarios.

Results from the RMI HIES Experiment Diary-keeping surveys costs ranged from USD 551 to USD 3,261 per household in urban and rural locations respectively. The most expensive is the CAPI diary (Arm 2), because of the interviewer time taken to transcribe transactions from paper diaries into tablets. In contrast, single-visit recall cost USD 289 and USD 577 and a two-visit recall costs $USD 380 and USD 850 per household in urban and rural locations respectively. Thus, the two status quo survey designs (Arms 3 and 4), with pen and paper diaries, are between 1.9 and 5.2 times as expensive as a recall survey (Arm 1), while a diary with transcription into CAPI would be 5.6 times as expensive. Total cost per enumerati on area $4,626 $10,248 $8,331 $19,564 $7,624 $18,847 $7,918 $19,184 $6,031 $14,876 Total cost per household Indexed $289 $577 $1,666 $3,261 $1,220 $3,016 $551 $1,163 $380 $850 Arm Survey Type Location Urban Rural Urban Rural Urban Rural Urban Rural Urban Rural 1.00 1.00 5.76 5.65 4.22 5.22 1.91 2.01 1.31 1.47 1 1-visit 7-day recall, CAPI 2 7-visit 14-day diary, CAPI 3 7-visit 14-day diary, PAPI 4 3-visit 14-day diary, PAPI 5 2-visit 7-day recall, CAPI
