The cost of racial animus on a black candidate: Evidence using Google search data☆ (2014, background): “In a study of measurement error in surveys, Bound et al. (2001) include the following sensitive behaviors as difficult to measure for surveyors due to social censoring: “the use of pugnacious terms with respect to racial or ethnic groups;” voting; use of illicit drugs; sexual practices; income; and ”
The Impact of Obesity on Wages (2004, methodology): “…this reporting error, true height and weight in the NLSY are predicted using information on the relationship between true and reported values in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)8 and using the method outlined in Lee and Sepanski (1995) and Bound et al. (2002).”
On the Measurement of Job Risk in Hedonic Wage Models (2003, neutral): “However, a worker’s industry is measured more accurately than a worker’s occupation (Bound, Brown, and Mathiowetz 2001).”
Are Earnings Inequality and Mobility Overstated? The Impact of Nonclassical Measurement Error (2010, methodology): “We build on Bound et al. (2001) who considers the impact of non-classical measurement error in a bivariate regression of E on E 1; where either E or E 1; but not both, are measured with error.”
Semiparametric Efficiency in GMM Models of Nonclassical Measurement Errors, Missing Data and Treatment Effects (2008, neutral): “On the other hand, the presence of non-classical measurement errors in economic data is well documented by Bound and Krueger (1991a), Bound, Brown, Duncan, and Rodgers (1994), Bound, Brown, and Mathiowetz (2001) and Bollinger (1998).”
Experimenting with Measurement Error: Techniques with Applications to the Caltech Cohort Study (2019, background): “Bound et al. (2001) also note the potential usefulness of instrumental-variable approaches.”
Attenuation Bias in Measuring the Wage Impact of Immigration (2011, background): “Griliches, and Hausman (1986), Bound and Krueger (1991), and McKinnish (2008) discuss measurement error in panel data models, and Bound, Brown, and Mathiowetz (2001) provide an excellent survey of the measurement error literature. erties for the OLS estimator —in the sense that the number of…”
Employment, Wages, and Voter Turnout (2013, result): “A concern about the estimate of β2 from (2) is the familiar one that difference estimators exacerbate the effect of measurement error (Bound et al. 2001); mis-measurement of local labor market activity will thus lead to worse attenuation bias in the difference model (2) compared to”
Best Practices in Conceptualizing and Measuring Social Class in Psychological Research (2013, background): “…is some suggestion of more systematic respondent bias among high income individuals (i.e., those in the top quintile of the income distribution, Nelson, 1993), recent reviews do not find a consistent association between income level and income response bias (Bound et al., 2001; Moore et al., 2000).”
Unhealthy assimilation: Why do immigrants converge to American health status levels? (2005, positive): “Following Cawley (2000), we address this misreporting problem by using the strategy described in Lee and Sepanski (1995) and Bound, Brown, and Mathiowetz (2001) .”
