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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

-phase selection setup, bias due to measurement error is estimated through probabilistic editing while weight adjustment employing … situations when some of the collected data points may have measurement errors and are therefore submitted to an editing process … simultaneously present, in addition to the sampling error: the measurement error, requiring an editing step, and the practically …
