Set Identification of Generalized Linear Predictors in the Presence of Non-Classical Measurement Errors

Wüthrich, Kaspar - Department Volkswirtschaftlehre, Universität Bern - 2013

This paper studies the identification of coefficients in generalized linear predictors where the outcome variable suffers from non-classical measurement errors. Combining a mixture model of data errors with the bounding procedure proposed by Stoye (2007) derive bounds on the coefficient vector...

The Consequences of Measurement Error when Estimating the Impact of BMI on Labour Market Outcomes

O'Neill, Donal; sweetman, Olive - Department of Economics, National University of Ireland - 2012

measurement error causes the traditional approach to overestimate the relationship between BMI and both income and education … significant measurement error and this error is negatively correlated with the true measure of BMI. In our analysis this non-classical …
