We propose a first order bias correction term for the Gini index to reduce the bias due to grouping. The first order … correction term is obtained from studying the estimator of the Gini index within a measurement error framework. In addition, it … reveals an intuitive formula for the remaining second order bias which is useful in empirical analyses. We analyze the …

We assess the role of measurement error in minimum wage evaluations when the treatment variable - the bite - is … measurement error derived from a record linkage of survey wages and administrative data. On the individual-level treatment effects … level does not fully alleviate the bias. In fact, the magnitude and direction of the bias depend on the size of the …

-phase selection setup, bias due to measurement error is estimated through probabilistic editing while weight adjustment employing …Probabilistic editing has been introduced to enable valid inference using established survey sampling theory in … situations when some of the collected data points may have measurement errors and are therefore submitted to an editing process …

Measurement error in historical data distorts descriptive analyses based on binary classifications. Modern replications … of deficiencies in retrospective CPI estimates for the 19th century show that measurement issues cause misclassification …. Using various approaches to control for measurement error in 19th century US CPI data, a series of stylized facts emerge: (i …

There are three major points to this article: 1. Measurement error causes biases in regression fits. The line one would … exposure with error. 2. The effects of measurement error vary from study-to-study. It is dangerous to take measurement error … corrections derived from one study and apply them to data from entirely different studies or populations. 3. Measurement error can …
