Misreporting of government transfers: how important are survey design and geography?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Recent studies linking household surveys to administrative records reveal high rates ofnmisreporting of program receipt. We use the FoodAPS survey to examine whether thenfindings of these studies of general household surveys using one or two states generalize tona survey with a narrow focus and across many states. First, we study how reporting errorsndiffer from other surveys. We find a lower rate of false negatives (failures to report truenreceipt) in FoodAPS, likely partly due to the shorter recall period of FoodAPS. Misreportingnvaries with household characteristics and between interviewers. Second, we examinengeographic heterogeneity in survey error to assess whether we can extrapolate from linkedndata from a few states. We find systematic differences between states in unconditionalnerror rates but no evidence of substantial differences conditional on common covariates.nThus, extrapolating error rates across states may yield more accurate receipt estimates thannuncorrected survey estimates.
