If rounded data are used in estimating moments and regression coffiecients, the estimates are typically more or less biased. The purpose of the paper is to study the bias inducing effect of rounding, which is also seen when population moments intstead of their estimates are considered. Under...

The paper is a survey of recent investigations by the authors and others into the relative efficiencies of structural and functional estimators of the regression parameters in a measurement error model. While structural methods, in particular the quasi-score (QS) method, take advantage of the...

The paper explores the effect of measurement errors on the estimation of a linear panel data model. The conventional fixed effects estimator, which ignores measurement errors, is biased. By correcting for the bias one can construct consistent and asymptotically normal estimators. In addition, we...

The present article considers the problem of consistent estimation in measurement error models. A linear relation with not necessarily normally distributed measurement errors is considered. Three possible estimators which are constructed as different combinations of the estimators arising from...
