The potential effects of legal and unauthorized international migration on the census and other data sources in the United States: Methodological and policy issues in 2010 and beyond
Authors: Murdock Steve H.
Published: March 2019

This article considers the accurate measurement of international migration to and from the United States, both legal and unauthorized, and how these measurement characteristics might affect the accuracy and utility of the 2010 census and other data sources. It provides a brief overview of the recent magnitude and impacts of US immigration. It delineates the role of immigration in determining an accurate census and discusses specific parameters that must be accurately measured in order to adequately assess immigration, both legal and unauthorized. It makes specific recommendations for addressing the effects of such factors.
Controlling the American Community Survey to intercensal population estimates
Authors: Breidt F. Jay
Published: March 2019

The US Census Bureau has proposed the use of demographic projections as population controls for the American Community Survey at a fine level of geographic and demographic stratification. These projections are known to be imperfect. Bias and variance of post-stratification estimators with imperfect population controls at various levels of aggregation are considered. The bias and variance are computed with respect to the "model" (including data generation and demographic projection) or with respect to the "design" (including coverage, sampling, response and demographic projection). Bias and variance depend in a complex way on the interactions of demographic projection errors with undercoverage error and nonresponse. Numerical examples illustrate that in the presence of imperfect demographic projections, control at higher levels of aggregation may be better in terms of bias than control at a fine level of post-stratification.
Rethinking US Census racial and ethnic categories for the 21st century
Authors: Lee Sharon M. , Tafoya Sonya M.
Published: March 2019

Racial and ethnic categories in the US census have continually changed. In this paper, we address the question: How do high levels of immigration and a growing multiracial population challenge census racial and ethnic categories? We examined data from the 2000 Census 5 percent IPUMS to compare racial responses of native- and foreign-born Hispanics, Asians, and Middle Easterners, and native-born multiracial Hispanics, Asians, and Middle Easterners, by ancestry. The relationship between race and ancestry can be instructive. If people understand and identify with census racial categories, we expect considerable overlap between their reported race and ancestry. For some groups, including Europeans, Africans, and Middle Easterners (regardless of nativity) and foreign-born Asians, ancestry and race overlapped well. A serious challenge to current census racial categories is the large and growing numbers of people who reported Some Other Race (SOR) alone (primarily non-Cuban Hispanics) or in combination with another race (a diverse population that includes multiracial Hispanics, Middle Easterners, and Asians). One way of addressing this problem is to merge the current race and Hispanic questions, drop the SOR category, and add the ancestry question to the short-form census, changes that may more effectively meet statistical, government, and other needs.
The United States Census at the dawn of the twenty-first century
Authors: Renfro Charles G. , Swanson David A.
Published: March 2019

This paper introduces a special issue of the Journal of Economic and Social Measurement that considers challenges that face the decennial US census at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Some involve data needs and public policy, some involve political issues, and others are technical. National and local aspects are each examined. Because the census is bound to politics by Article I of the US Constitution, competing political forces have continually shaped it. Policy actions are examined that set the stage for census conflicts in the late 20th century. Suggestions are offered for reducing these conflicts in the 21st century. The exploration of technical issues facing the census generally focuses on the question of how to accurately measure the rapidly changing distribution and composition of the US population in a cost-effective manner.
A comparison of poverty trends and policy impacts for working families using different poverty indexes
Authors: DeFina Robert H.
Published: March 2019

This study provides empirical evidence on recent trends in poverty among working families based on the headcount rate and a broader alternative that incorporates the headcount rate, the depth of poverty and income inequality among the poor. Estimates reveal that the different indexes produce significantly different trends. The headcount rate indicates a reduction in overall working poverty for the sample period, while the alternative index showed no statistically significant change. The same result was found for various population subgroups. Decompositions of the index changes show that tax changes contributed to lower values for both the headcount rate and the alternative index, largely due to recent expansions of the earned income tax credit. Changes in transfer payments added to measured poverty, mirroring the retrenchment of welfare and other transfer programs. Shifts in market-based income decreased both indexes.
Identification problem and detailed Oaxaca decomposition: A general solution and inference
Authors: Yun Myeong-Su
Published: March 2019

It is well-known that the standard Oaxaca decomposition method on wage differentials produces arbitrary results when calculating the coefficients effect of sets of dummy variables: the estimated sum of coefficients effects of sets of dummy variables is not invariant to the choice of reference groups. We generalize this identification problem in the detailed Oaxaca decomposition and its solution based on a normalized equation to a decomposition analysis for differences in the first moment where linear or non-linear (e.g., probit or logit) models can be used for estimation. We provide a practical and simple algorithm to derive the normalized equation, and show that using normalized equation does not change the size and inference of the overall characteristics and coefficients effects.
Estimating the non observed economy in Mozambique: Experiences from the Italian support project
Authors: Cappiello Antonio
Published: March 2019

This paper can be a reference model for those countries that are currently experiencing a development phase with socio-economic features comparable with those of the Mozambican economy. A survey was required for obtaining more exhaustive estimations for National Accounts and, at the same time, for building a benchmark of social evaluation for planning poverty reduction strategies. Moreover, with this survey the national statistical institute of Mozambique(INE) has also analysed the agricultural production (in most cases represented by "production for auto-consumption"), often coming from secondary activities of households which are located in the urban area and that, as main activity, conduct extra-agricultural activities.
A benchmark-free approach to access the accuracy of an OLS model calculation in an econometrically uncertain world
Authors: Stokes Houston H.
Published: March 2019

Although it is possible to test the calculation accuracy of a software system's implementation of OLS using sample datasets that have been extensively studied and have benchmarked answers, this approach will not help access the calculation accuracy of a user's model for which such answers are not available. Since in theory estimated residuals of an OLS model are required to be orthogonal to the right-hand-side variables, this paper investigates the impact of changes in data precision and calculation method on the software's success in achieving this goal. In attempting estimation of an OLS model the investigator must make two critical decisions. The first decision is the precision of the data used in the calculation, both how it was loaded and whether its precision was subsequently increased for the actual calculation. The second and related decision is the calculation method. To investigate these tradeoffs, two rather simple and well known data sets that do not exhibit extreme multicollinearity are used to illustrate the data precision / calculation method accuracy tradeoff.
DAD: A software for poverty and distributive analysis
Authors: Araar Abdelkrim , Duclos Jean-Yves
Published: March 2019

DAD is designed to facilitate the analysis and the comparisons of social welfare, inequality, poverty and equity across distributions of living standards and using disaggregated data. It is made available at no charge. DAD's features include the estimation of a large number of indices and curves that are useful for distributive comparisons as well as the provision of various statistical tools. It is currently the only software that systematically takes into account the sampling design of commonly used surveys in calculating asymptotic, bootstrap and p-bootstrap statistics for carrying out statistical inference. Many of DAD's features are useful for estimating the impact of programs (and reforms to these programs) on poverty and equity.
Stress testing of econometric results using archived code for replication
Authors: Vinod Hrishikesh D.
Published: March 2019

Replications merely check whether the results reported by authors are independently verifiable, not whether they are reliable, robust and stable. Statistical inference deals with specification and sampling errors whereas subject matter knowledge is needed to avoid errors in interpretation of the model. Vinod and Ullah [24] suggested perturbing the data beyond the available digits to evaluate the numerical stability of model results. This paper extends the idea into a simple algorithm to create random perturbations for checking perturbation sensitivity (=α $ _{p}$ ) of a model, its software and interpretations. We illustrate the proposed algorithm with archived replication examples from the Journal of Money Credit and Banking (JMCB) and Journal of Applied Econometrics. Some journals (against our sentiment) still allow some parts of the code to be hidden in a black box. Unfortunately, black boxes may also hide shortcuts and dishonesty, unless all black box users are required to post the α $_{p}$ developed here. There is a new requirement at Econometrica to report the sensitivity of empirical results, and other journals may soon follow. Ourα $ _{p}$ provides a tool for meeting such requirements.
The measurement of house prices: A review of the sale price appraisal ratio method
Authors: de Haan Jan , van der Wal Erna , de Vries Paul
Published: March 2019

The sale price appraisal ratio (SPAR) method has been applied in a number of countries to construct house price indexes. This paper reviews the statistical and index number properties of the SPAR approach. Three types of SPAR indexes are distinguished: a weighted index, which aims at tracking the price change of the stock of owner-occupied houses, and two unweighted indexes, an arithmetic one and a geometric one. We also discuss stratified versions of these indexes and show how stratification can be used to estimate an expenditure-based Laspeyres-type price index. Empirical results for the Netherlands are given and compared with the repeat-sales index published by the Dutch land registry until January 2008.
A partially corrected estimate of medicaid enrollment and uninsurance: Results from an imputational model developed off linked survey and administrative data
Authors: Davern Michael , Klerman Jacob A. , Ziegenfuss Jeanette , Lynch Victoria , Greenberg George
Published: March 2019

To improve the utility of estimates of Medicaid enrollment and uninsurance from the Current Population Survey (CPS) we use linked data from the CPS and the Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS) to build a probabilistic imputation model that partially corrects the public use data files for systematic under-reporting of Medicaid. We estimate the probability that a CPS survey case was enrolled in Medicaid, conditional on whether or not in the CPS the individual responded that they had Medicaid. We use the imputed data to develop adjusted estimates of Medicaid enrollment and uninsurance by demographic characteristics. The net Medicaid enrollment total using our imputation model for CY 2006 and 2007 is 41.0, compared to 34.0 million using the standard CPS variables. The resulting net adjusted uninsurance estimate is 4.5% below the unadjusted estimate.
Coherent accounting of industry growth: A case study of Denmark 1970–2005
Authors: Reich Utz-Peter
Published: March 2019

The yearly growth of an industry is commonly measured by valuing its output and its intermediate consumption at previous year's prices, forming the balance called value added, and subtracting from it previous year's value added. The result may be expressed as a percentage of previous year's value added– the common usage– or as an amount of value measured in previous year's currency, which is the approach used in this paper.

Although superficially equivalent, the two expressions lend themselves to different quantitative results and economic interpretations of an industry's long-term growth. Using the Danish case as an example, the paper demonstrates the lack of coherence of the conventional method when applied to actual figures, and suggests a remedy based on introducing the general price level as a third explicit variable, besides prices and volumes, into the decomposition method. The paper is not an exercise in index numbers, but is addressed to the practitioner of national accounts.
Classifying applicants for fair lending analyses: What do the data have to say?
Authors: Dietrich Jason
Published: March 2019

Testing for discrimination in mortgage lending requires classifying consumers into treatment and control groups. Classification is quite complicated, because Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, the primary source of data for these analyses, contain information on the ethnicity, race, and gender for both primary and coapplicants. In addition, applicants have the option of reporting multiple races. Using these detailed data to construct standard groups, such as"Black," "Hispanic," and "White," requires subjective decisions on how to aggregate applications. This study uses a data-driven approach to classify applications, minimizing subjectivity. Using HMDA data, as well as data from a recent examination conducted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, we disaggregated applications into the most basic subsets possible. Our objectives are to better understand the characteristics of applicants, analyze variation in denial rates across underlying subsets of applications, and develop a data-driven classification strategy feasible for fair lending analyses.
Improving the preliminary values of the chained CPI-U
Authors: Greenlees John S.
Published: March 2019

This paper employs a constant-elasticity of substitution (CES) index formula to improve the accuracy of the preliminary values of the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). Using the CES behavioural model, I present estimates of the overall extent of consumer response to relative price changes exhibited in Consumer Expenditure Survey data for 1999–2008. The associated parameter estimates are then used to develop CES forecasts of the final C-CPI-U index values. Simulations demonstrate that use of the CES approach over the last several years would have resulted in smaller index revisions between the preliminary and final C-CPI-U releases. Looking to the future, CES-based preliminary estimates could increase the usefulness of the C-CPI-U to government programs and other users.
Tax audit impact on voluntary compliance
Authors: Niu Yongzhi
Published: March 2019

This study examines the impact of the New York State tax audit on voluntary compliance in one segment of the New York State economy, Food Services and Drinking Places (NAICS 722). It takes a new and different approach from previous studies in the literature. Both the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Time Series Cross Section (TSCS) autoregressive modeling methods are applied. The results of both methods suggest that after an audit, a firm reports a higher sales growth rate. The TSCS approach shows that in the year of the audit, a typical firm reports a sales growth rate which is 2.63 percentage points higher than a firm that was not audited. This percentage is found to decline by a rate of 1/3 each year thereafter. These findings suggest that the audit productivity reported in many research papers, where only the direct audit collections are considered, may be underestimated.
Measuring price dynamics: A guide to understanding payer-physician claims data
Authors: Herman Douglas A. , Ulrick Shawn W.
Published: March 2019

This paper provides a guide to understanding physician claims data. Physician claims data reflect the prices and quantity of procedures provided by physicians and billed to insurers. These data are often used by policy analysts, legal professionals, and academics to analyze price dynamics in markets for physician specialties. Given recent legislation, such data will become ever more common and accessible in the near future. The data are very complex, and there is little in terms of publically available sources to explain how they convey prices. Our goal is to aid the reader new to these data by providing a substantive overview of them.
Benchmarking time series according to a growth rates preservation principle
Authors: Di Fonzo Tommaso , Marini Marco
Published: March 2019

We present a new technique for temporally benchmarking a time series according to a Growth Rates Preservation (GRP) principle. This procedure basically looks for the solution to a non linear program, according to which a smooth, non-convex function of the unknown values of the target time series has to be minimized subject to linear equality constraints which link the more frequent series to a given, less frequent benchmark series. We develop a Newton's method with Hessian modification applied to a suitably reduced-unconstrained problem. This method exploits the analytic Hessian of the GRP objective function, making full use of all the derivative information at disposal. We show that the proposed technique is easy to implement, computationally robust and efficient, all features which make it a plausible competitor of other benchmarking procedures currently used by statistical agencies.
Effective average tax rates for permanent investment
Authors: Klemm Alexander
Published: March 2019

This paper extends the effective average tax rate (EATR) developed in Devereux and Griffith [3] by relaxing the assumption of a one-period perturbation in the capital stock. While this may appear to be a purely technical change, it has important implications. First, it allows the EATR to be calculated in the presence of special regimes such as tax holidays, which are an important part of tax systems, especially in developing countries. Second, it reveals an interesting feature of the original EATR: despite the assumption of a one-period investment, the original measure is informative about long-term investments, thanks to the assumption of pooled depreciation. Without this assumption – which is justifiable in a few countries only – the EATR based on one-period perturbation in the capital stock would be less useful for analyzing medium and long-term investments.
A new consumer price index that incorporates housing
Authors: Klevmarken N. Anders , Grünewald Olle , Allansson Henrik
Published: March 2019

A long lasting controversy in Sweden as well as internationally is how to best estimate a price on the services of owner occupied housing in a consumer price index. There is no international consensus and different approaches have been adopted. In this article we use a true cost-of-living index previously suggested by one of the authors, apply the model to Swedish data and compare the results to the official Swedish consumer price index. We find that the official index has underestimated changes in the cost-of-living and suggest a region in which a better approximation should lie.
