Response bias in survey-based measures of household consumption

Joachim Winter ()

Economics Bulletin, 2004, vol. 3, issue 9, 1-12

Abstract: An important aspect of household surveys is the design of consumption questions. A controlled experiment shows that a single question on total monthly nondurables expenditure and a design with 35 disaggregated categories produce different results. These differences vary with household characteristics.
