The Measurement of Household Consumption Expenditures
综述了收集家庭消费数据的三种方式（详细预算调查、简化调查、行政数据），比较其优缺点，为经济学研究者选择数据方法提供参考。
Household-level data on consumer expenditures underpin a wide range of empirical research in modern economics, spanning micro- and macroeconomics. This research includes work on consumption and saving, on poverty and inequality, and on risk sharing and insurance. We review different ways in which such data can be collected or captured: traditional detailed budget surveys, less onerous survey procedures that might be included in more general surveys, and administrative or process data. We discuss the advantages and difficulties of each approach and suggest directions for future investigation.
