Who misreports welfare receipt in surveys?
We match survey and administrative data and determine the extent of misreporting on welfare receipt. In our data, 10.5% of German welfare recipients under-report and 1% over-report benefit receipt. The analysis shows that particularly households who are close to the labour market, without children, and with relatively high household incomes and savings are prone to under-report their welfare receipt. This information is important for the study of transfer programmes based on survey data.
