Estimating the Level of Underreporting of Expenditures among Expenditure Reporters: A Further Micro-Level Latent Class Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper makes estimates of the level of underreporting of consumer expenditures. The paper examines reporting in particular commodity categories and attempts only to make estimates of underreporting among those that report at least one expenditure in the category. The measure of the level of underreporting in a category by a particular responding unit is based on latent class analysis using characteristics of the respondent’s reporting behavior. It is assumed that the level of underreporting is similar within a particular subpopulation defined by these characteristics. A demographic analysis will identify the types of responding units that have various levels of underreporting.

متن کاملEstimating the Income Elasticities of Health Expenditures for Income Quintiles and Inequality of Health Expenditures Distribution
Background: Determining the income elasticities of the household health expenditures, especially for income deciles, leads to adoption of appropriate policies to control and manage health expenditures among income deciles. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to estimate the income elasticities of urban household health expenditures by income quintiles, and also calculate inequality in...
متن کاملA Microlevel Latent Class Model for Measurement Error in the Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey
Previous research by Tucker et al. (2005) and Tucker et al. (2006) attempts to identify a latent construct that predicts the amount of measurement error in expenditure reports on the Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey (CEIS). While this work was successful in identifying a construct that predicts measurement error in expenditure reports, it is more sensitive to falsely negative reports of th...
