本文研究了劳动力市场调查数据中反应误差的程度，并探讨了此类误差对经济分析的影响。明确审查了对行业、职业、工会地位、工作时间和工资问题的答复。分析基于两个来源：(1) 1977 年 1 月当前人口调查的特别补充，该调查从工人及其雇主处获得数据；(2) 就业机会试点项目调查中受访工人及其雇主的完全匹配。这些调查的双重性质为分析反应误差对各种经济分析的影响提供了基础，这些经济分析包括工资与风险之间的权衡、工会主义的工资影响以及工资决定模型对收入问题替代反应的敏感性。
This paper examines the extent of response errors in labor market survey data and explores the implications of such errors for economic analysis. Explicitly examined are responses to questions on industry, occupation, union status, hours worked, and wages. Analyses are based on two sources: (1) a special supplement to the January 1977 Current Population Survey that obtained data from workers and their employers and (2) an exact match of workers and their employers interviewed in the Employment Opportunity Pilot Project Survey. The dual nature of these surveys provides a basis for analyzing the effect of response error on a variety of economic analyses including the trade-off between wages and risk, the wage impact of unionism, and the sensitivity of wage-determination models to alternative responses to earnings questions.
