Is Earnings Nonresponse Ignorable?
Is Earnings Nonresponse Ignorable? Earnings nonresponse in the Current Population Survey is roughly 30% in the monthly surveys and 20% in the annual March survey. Even if nonresponse is random, severe bias attaches to wage equation coefficient estimates on attributes not matched in the earnings imputation hot deck. If nonresponse is ignorable, unbiased estimates can be achieved by omitting impu...
متن کاملTests of Certain Types of Ignorable Nonresponse in Surveys Subject to Item Nonresponse or Attrition
Analysts of cross-sectional or panel surveys often base inferences about relationships between variables on complete units, excluding units that are incomplete due to item nonresponse or attrition. This practice is justifiable if exclusion is ignorable in an appropriate sense. This paper characterizes certain types of ignorable exclusion in surveys subject to item nonresponse and develops tests...
متن کاملTrouble in the Tails ? What We Know about Earnings

متن کاملWage Gap Estimation with Proxies and Nonresponse
Earnings nonresponse in the Current Population Survey (CPS) is about 30% in the monthly surveys and 20% in the annual March surveys. Half of CPS earnings records rely on “proxy” respondents, among whom nonresponse is particularly high. Even if nonresponse is random, severe bias attaches to wage equation coefficient estimates on non-match (and some imperfectly matched) imputation attributes. If ...
