Methodological report on the TiGRE project expert survey

Abstract

This report outlines the steps taken to design and implement a stakeholder survey on trust and distrust in European regulatory governance and ultimately create a large, multi-actor, multi-level, multi-sector, and cross-country dataset. Specifically, the report provides information about the mapping, ethical considerations, survey question and scale design, the questionnaire structure, translation and piloting, fielding and reminders, the creation of the dataset, response rates, and the sample. A list of important actors and the questionnaire itself are included in the annexes. This report should be of interest to everyone working with the survey data, readers of project publications who would like to know more about the survey methodology, and everyone seeking to implement similar large-scale surveys
