利用1978年3月美国当前人口调查与社会保障行政记录的匹配数据,采用非参数方法分析年收入报告中的测量误差,发现截面样本误差高于面板,低收入者高报收入是负相关的主要来源。

Abstract

"This article utilizes an exact match file between the 1978 March [U.S.] Current Population Survey and administrative records from the Social Security Administration to analyze errors in the reporting of annual income using nonparametric methodology.... Three new findings are of interest: there is higher measurement error in cross-sectional samples than in panels. The negative relationship between measurement error and earnings is driven largely by overreporting among low earners. Median response errors are not related to earnings."
