Asking Consumption Questions in General Purpose Surveys
从多个来源收集证据，评估在通用调查中添加回忆性消费问题的有效性，并给出具体建议。
In many research areas it is desirable to have information on household total expenditure ('consumption'). We draw evidence from several sources on the usefulness of recall consumption questions. We conclude that valid information can be collected by adding specific recall questions to general purpose surveys, and provide recommendations on how to do so. Copyright 2003 Royal Economic Society.
