Mismeasured Household Size and its Implications for the Identification of Economies of Scale

Halliday, Timothy - 2008

We consider the possibility that demographic variables are measured with errors which arise because household surveys … measure demographic structures at a point-in-time, whereas household composition evolves throughout the survey period. We … construct and estimate sharp bounds on household size and find that the degree of these measurement errors is non …

Partisanship and Survey Refusal

Borgschulte, Mark; Cho, Heepyung; Lubotsky, Darren - 2022

Response rates to important surveys used in social science research have been falling precipitously over the last few decades, raising questions about the representativeness of the resulting data and the quality of evidence that comes from it. We examine how partisan preferences influence...

Misclassification Errors and the Underestimation of U.S. Unemployment Rates

Feng, Shuaizhang - 2010

Using recent results in the measurement error literature, we show that the official U.S. unemployment rates substantially underestimate the true levels of unemployment, due to misclassification errors in labor force status in Current Population Surveys. Our closed-form identification of the...

Reconciling Occupational Mobility in the Current Population Survey

Vom Lehn, Christian - 2020

Measuring occupational mobility from the Current Population Survey using recall (retrospective) or linked panel responses (longitudinal) generates substantially different outcomes, both in levels and trends. Using a generalized method of moments technique, we estimate the actual level of...
