Data

Chapter Chapter 5 in Methods of Economic Research, 2018, pp 53-67 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter portrays the economic analysis of data as a sophisticated way of “seeing like a state,” a perspective which highlights the inherent limitations of most economic data. It articulates the data qualities the researcher should be familiar with, and the econometric consequences of failing to understand these qualities. These ideas come to life in applications to patents, informal markets in Peru, school accountability ratings, drug dealing, medical coding, and the employment effects of the minimum wage.
