• Estimating the Level and Distribution of Global Household Wealth (2007, background): “Both sampling and non-sampling error lead to special difficulties in obtaining an accurate picture of the upper tail, which is of course one of the most interesting parts of the wealth distribution (see Davies and Shorrocks 2000: 605-76, 2005).”
