Exploring Differences in Employment between Household and Establishment Data
通过链接当前人口调查与雇主行政数据，发现两者在基本就业指标上存在显著差异，且差异集中于边缘工人和非标准工作，对微观与宏观劳动分析有启示。
Using a large data set that links individual Current Population Survey (CPS) records to employer-reported administrative data, we document substantial discrepancies in basic measures of employment status that persist even after controlling for known definitional differences between the two data sources. We hypothesize that reporting discrepancies should be most prevalent for marginal workers and for marginal or nonstandard jobs, and we find systematic associations between the incidence of reporting discrepancies and observable person and job characteristics that are consistent with this hypothesis. The paper discusses the implications of the reported findings for both micro and macro labor market analysis.
