“…Unfortunately, we have no estimates of the undercount for the populations receiving transfer income. In 1990 for example, estimates are only available for broader groups such as non-blacks and blacks, women 24 See Hogan (1993) and Robinson et al (1993) for 1990 Census undercount estimates. 25 See Mathiowetz, Brown, and Bound (2002) and Bound, Brown, and Mathiowetz (2001) for summaries of other studies.…”

We evaluate consumption and income measures of the material well-being of the poor. We begin with conceptual and pragmatic reasons that favor income or consumption. Then, we empirically examine the quality of standard data by studying measurement error and under-reporting, and by comparing micro-data from standard surveys to administrative micro-data and aggregates. We also compare low reports of income and consumption to other measures of hardship and well-being. The closer link between consumption and well-being and its better measurement favors the use of consumption when setting benefits and evaluating transfer programs. However, income retains its convenience for determining program eligibility.

“…Because the censuses of 1970, 1980, and 1990 differ in completeness of enumeration, we adjusted the population counts for the 1980-1990 net migration estimates and the 1970-1980 estimates of White et al . (1987) using age-sex-rate undercount estimates by the Census Bureau (Passel and Robinson 1985 ;Robinson et al . 1993) . rates both decisions to leave and decisions to move in, the implications for individual behavior are unclear : a net rate increase may be the result of more persons moving in, fewer persons leaving, or some combination of the two .…”

Continuity and Change in Rural Migration Patterns, 1950–1995*

During the past several decades, rural America has experienced turbulent demographic change. We examine rural age‐specific migration data for 1950 to 1995 to ascertain whether the numerous economic, social, and technological factors buffeting nonmetropolitan America have altered migration patterns across age groups and types of counties. Both continuity and change are evident in the analysis. We find differentiation in the migration profiles of certain specialized types of rural counties, as well as temporal variability from decade to decade. No clear longitudinal trend in migration patterns is present, however. In fact, an underlying continuity in age‐specific trends has endured through good times and bad.

“…It is important to note that the estimate of the ratio of sub-population sizes r may be available for large population based on previous studies (Wolter, 1990). For example, in a census coverage study, estimate of the sex-ratio may be available from a past demographic analysis of the population under consideration (Robinson et al, 1993). Therefore, assuming r to be known, we presented this analysis only for the large populations, that is for (N A , N B ) = (1200, 1000).…”

On the estimation of population size from a post-stratified two-sample capture–recapture data under dependence

Population size estimation based on two sample capture-recapture type experiment is an interesting problem in various fields including epidemiology, pubic health, population studies, etc. The Lincoln-Petersen estimate is popularly used under the assumption that capture and recapture status of each individual is independent. However, in many real life scenarios, there is an inherent dependency between capture and recapture attempts which is not well-studied in the literature of the dual system or two sample capture-recapture method. In this article, we propose a novel model that successfully incorporates the possible causal dependency and provide corresponding estimation methodologies for the associated model parameters based on post-stratified two sample capture-recapture data. The superiority of the performance of the proposed model over the existing competitors is established through an extensive simulation study. The method is illustrated through analysis of some real data sets.
