Estimating nonseparable models with mismeasured endogenous variables

Song, Suyong; Schennach, Susanne M.; White, Halbert - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 6 (2015) 3, pp. 749-794

We study the identification and estimation of covariate-conditioned average marginal effects of endogenous regressors in nonseparable structural systems when the regressors are mismeasured. We control for the endogeneity by making use of covariates as control variables; this ensures conditional...

How Reliable are Household Expenditures as a Proxy for Permanent Income? Implications for the Income-Nutrition Relationship

Gibson, John; Kim, Bonggeun - Department of Economics, Waikato Management School - 2011

Measurement error in short-run expenditures from household surveys may attenuate estimated effects of permanent income on economic outcomes. Repeated observations on households during the year are used to calculate reliability ratios and estimate errors in variables regressions of the impact of...

Using Panel Data to Exactly Estimate Income Under-Reporting by the Self Employed

Kim, Bonggeun; Gibson, John; Chung, Chul - East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) - 2009

The income of the self-employed is often assumed to be understated in economic statistics. Controversy exists about the best method for estimating the extent of under-reporting and about the resulting measures of the size of the underground economy. This paper refines a method developed by...

Using Engel Curves to Measure CPI Bias for Indonesia

Olivia, Susan; Gibson, John - Department of Economics, Waikato Management School - 2012

bias for Indonesia is calculated by estimating food Engel curves for households with the same level of CPI-deflated incomes … at four different points in time between 1993 and 2008. The results suggest CPI bias was initially negative during the … Asian Crisis but has been positive since 2000. Over the entire period, CPI bias has averaged four percent annually …

How reliable are household expenditures as a proxy for permanent income? Implications for the income–nutrition relationship

Gibson, John; Kim, Bonggeun - In: Economics Letters 118 (2013) 1, pp. 23-25

Using short-run expenditures from household surveys as a proxy may create attenuated estimates of the impact of permanent income on economic outcomes. We use repeated observations to calculate reliability ratios and estimate errors in variables regressions of the impact of income on nutrition....

What Does Variation in Survey Design Reveal About the Nature of Measurement Errors in Household Consumption?

Gibson, John; Beegle, Kathleen; Weerdt, Joachim De; … - Department of Economics, Waikato Management School - 2013

We use data from eight different consumption questionnaires randomly assigned to 4,000 households in Tanzania to obtain evidence on the nature of measurement errors in estimates of household consumption. While there are no validation data, the design of one questionnaire and the resources put...

Economic Rise and Decline in Indonesia – As Seen from Space

Olivia, Susan; Gibson, John - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013

Satellite-detected luminosity is sometimes used to proxy for economic activity although only recently within the mainstream economics literature (Henderson et al., 2012). If this method works it holds great promise for developing countries with weak statistical systems that face difficulties in...
