Response bias in survey-based measures of household consumption

Winter, Joachim (2003): Response bias in survey-based measures of household consumption. In: Economics Bulletin, Bd. 3, Nr. 9: S. 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.
