| Definition: |
Increasing the sample overlap for some surveys rather than drawing the samples independently is known as positive coordination.
A positive coordination is often searched in repeated surveys over time (panels) in order to obtain a better accuracy of statistics depending on correlated variables from two surveys. Reducing the overlap between samples for different surveys is known as negative coordination.
A negative coordination is used in order to share more equally the response burden among responding units when statistics from surveys are not used together or are not correlated.
