| Abstract | This paper analyzes earnings dynamics and measurement error using a matched longitudinal sample of individuals’ survey and administrative earnings. We reject that survey reports are measured with classical error and the administrative earnings are error free. The reported differences are negatively correlated with average administrative earnings, and with annual deviations, and characterized by both persistent and transitory factors. We formulate models for individuals’ true earnings and measurement errors in each report. Assuming no measurement error in the administrative reports, we estimate mean-reverting errors in the survey report, but this finding is not robust to relaxing this assumption. The results imply measurement errors dominate the observed changes in earnings. |
