Estimation of Poverty Transition Matrices with Noisy Data
Published By: BREAD on eSS | Published Date: August, 25 , 2010This paper investigates potential measurement error biases in estimated poverty
transition matrices. Transition matrices based on survey expenditure data has been compared
to transition matrices based on measurement-error-free simulated expenditure. The
simulation model uses estimates that correct for measurement error in expenditure.
This dynamic model needs error-free initial conditions that can not be derived from
these estimates. [Working Paper No. 270]
