Folder Description

Summary:

The Fall 2013 MPPS wave focused on energy and environmental issues such as the Great

Lakes, wind turbines, and hydraulic fracturing. A series of questions on the Detroit bankruptcy

filing was also included. This survey ran from October 7 to December 17, 2013 and received responses from 73% of jurisdictions.

Scope of Folder

Subject Terms: Detroit; environment; alternative energy; Great Lakes; bankruptcy; energy production; wind turbines; fracking

Geographic Coverage: Michigan

Time Period(s): 9/22/2013 – 12/21/2013 (Fall 2013)

Universe:

3,655 top elected and top appointed officials from all 1,856 Michigan counties,

cities, villages, and townships

Data Type(s): survey data

Methodology

Response Rate: 73% by jurisdiction; 40% by individual respondent

Sampling:

The sample for the Fall 2013 MPPS included on average two officials from each of the local general purpose units of government (83 counties, 277 cities, 256 villages, and 1,240 townships) in the state of Michigan. The sample frame included, where the position existed and was not vacant, the top elected and top appointed official in each jurisdiction. For counties, this consisted of county administrators and board chairs; for cities, mayors and city managers; for villages, village presidents and managers. Townships are a special case in that, typically, their governing officials are all elected. Therefore, in townships, both the elected supervisors and the elected clerks were administered surveys, as well as the few appointed township managers.

Collection Mode(s): mail questionnaire; web-based survey

Weights:

The Fall 2013 dataset includes two separate weights—one for individual-level and one

for jurisdiction-level analyses—that should be used to account for nonresponse at the

individual and jurisdictional levels, respectively. The variable samp_juris can be used to select

cases according to whether analysis is being done at the individual-level or jurisdiction-level.

Unit(s) of Observation: Jurisdiction, Individual
