The End of the (Research) World As We Know It? Understanding and Coping With Declining Response Rates to Mail Surveys (2019, methodology): “Brown and his colleagues do not engage time as a predictor, but Connelly, Brown, and Decker (2003) demonstrate—holding other variables in their model constant—a statistically significant decline in response rate based on year of implementation.”
Comparing Mail and Web-Based Survey Distribution Methods: Results of Surveys to Leisure Travel Retailers (2005, background): “First, survey researchers have noticed a decline in mail survey response rates (Connelly, Brown, and Decker 2003; Dey 1997).”
The Drop-off and Pick-up Method: An Approach to Reduce Nonresponse Bias in Natural Resource Surveys (2011, background): “This is especially critical because empirical evidence shows declining response rates over time to natural resource focused mail surveys (Connelly et al. 2003).”
