Mismeasured Household Size and its Implications for the Identification of Economies of Scale
发现家庭调查中测得的家庭规模存在非平凡的测量误差，这种误差源于调查时点测量与家庭构成随时间变化的差异，并检验了该误差能否解释Deaton-Paxson悖论。
We consider the possibility that demographic variables are measured with errors which arise because household surveys measure demographic structures at a point-in-time, whereas household composition evolves throughout the survey period. We construct and estimate sharp bounds on household size and find that the degree of these measurement errors is non-trivial. These errors have the potential to resolve the Deaton–Paxson paradox, but fail to do so.
