We study how estimators used to impute consumption in survey data are inconsistent due to measurement error in … consumption. Previous research suggests instrumenting consumption to overcome this problem. We show that, if additional regressors … are present, then instrumenting consumption may still produce inconsistent estimators due to the likely correlation …
