at least 15 percent, and perhaps as much as 42 percent, of measured mobility is upward bias due to measurement error. The … biased upward due to measurement error in income and expenditure data collected from household surveys.

Measurement error in historical data distorts descriptive analyses based on binary classifications. Modern replications … of deficiencies in retrospective CPI estimates for the 19th century show that measurement issues cause misclassification …. Using various approaches to control for measurement error in 19th century US CPI data, a series of stylized facts emerge: (i …

We propose a first order bias correction term for the Gini index to reduce the bias due to grouping. The first order … correction term is obtained from studying the estimator of the Gini index within a measurement error framework. In addition, it … reveals an intuitive formula for the remaining second order bias which is useful in empirical analyses. We analyze the …
