Modeling Discrete Choice With Response Error: Food Stamp Participation
研究了食品券参与调查中的响应误差，发现家庭收入越高越容易漏报，并修正了参与模型中的收入与资产参数偏差。
Abstract Validation of Food Stamp program participation by Marquis and Moore revealed net bias of 13% in mean estimates of participation in the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation. We extend the analysis, incorporating demographic and economic covariates in models for underreporting and overreporting. We use the resulting models of response error to refine estimates of participation models using pseudo-maximum likelihood estimation methods. We find that the probability of underreporting rises with increased family income. Estimates of the participation model indicate the presence of substantial bias in income- and asset-related parameters compared to values obtained without incorporating response error.
