Quality of Match for Statistical Matches Used in the 1992 and 2007 LIMEW Estimates for the United States

摘要

In association with Working Paper no. 615, Research Scholar Thomas Masterson describes the construction of synthetic datasets used in estimating the Levy Institute Measure of Economic Well-Being (LIMEW) for the United States in 1992 and 2007. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Annual Demographic Supplement (ADS) provides the base dataset for regional household information on demographics, income, transfers, and taxes. Wealth data are derived from the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, while time-use data come from the Americans' Use of Time Project (AUTP) and the American Time Use Survey (ATUS).
