Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: Proxy Means Testing (PMT) – a popular method to target the poor – is subject to a lively debate among policy makers, civilian stakeholders and academics. In a recent article (Gazeaud, 2020), I provide empirical evidence on one largely ignored aspect of PMT targeting, namely its vulnerability to non-random measurement errors in survey-based consumption data.
