Modeling Earnings Measurement Error: A Multiple Imputation Approach
Brownstone, David; Velletta, Robert G. - Institute for Transportation Studies (ITS), University … - 1996
Recent survey validation studies suggest that measurement error in earnings data is pervasive and violates classical measurement error assumptions, and therefore may bias estimation of cross-section and longitudinal earnings models. We model the structure of earnins measurements error using data...
