What does Variation in Survey Design Reveal about the Nature of Measurement Errors in Household Consumption?
通过随机分配八种不同的消费调查，研究测量误差的性质，发现误差与真实消费呈均值回归的负相关，尤其对食品和农村家庭。
Abstract We randomly assigned eight different consumption surveys to obtain evidence on the nature of measurement errors in estimates of household consumption. Regressions using data from more error‐prone designs are compared with results from a ‘gold standard’ survey. Measurement errors appear to have a mean‐reverting negative correlation with true consumption, especially for food and especially for rural households.
