“…Although individual sub.. ject's reports were not accurate under the free-strategy condition at the longer retention interval, when we examine the net error for the group as a whole (rather than as the mean absolute value for the errors as reported above), subject's errors tend to cancel each other out; that is, some subjects gave reports that were too high, whereas others gave reports that were too low. Epidemiologic research .. ers who are interested in the relationship between the amount smoked and health status should have the same concerns with accuracy of individual reports as do psychologists and survey researchers who are interested in studying the relationships between self-reports and other variables (e.g., Marquis et al, 1986).…”

“…In addition to the Ashenfelter and Kreuger (1994) twins data, replicates have been given by Barron, Berger, and Black (1997a), Card (1996), Freeman (1984, Kaestner, Joyce, and Wehbeh (1996), Loewenstein and Spletzer (1998), Mellow and Sider (1983), Romeo (1997), and Romeo and Sun (1996). Alternatively, other studies have examined the accuracy of data by comparing questionnaire responses to administrative data (Bollinger 1998;Bollinger and David 1997;Bound, Brown, Duncan, andRodgers 1990,1994;Bound and Krueger 1991;Duncan and Hill 1985;Marquis, Marquis, and Polich 1986;Rodgers, Brown, and Duncan 1993). Taken together, these studies offer little support for the classic EVM; measurement error often exhibits a covariance with the true value.…”

“…The attenuation will be proportional to the reliability of the income measure. Estimates of the reliability of selfreported annual income as a measure of true annual income range from .7 to .9; estimates of its reliability as a measure of permanent income are roughly .5 (Marquis, Marquis, & Polich, 1986;Mazumder, 2001). If we take a value of .8 as the reliability of income, then we can get a corrected estimate of income segregation in 2010 as H ' .089/.8 ' .11 (a reliability of .5 would imply H ' .089/.5 ' .18).…”

Although trends in the racial segregation of schools are well documented, less is known about trends in income segregation. We use multiple data sources to document trends in income segregation between schools and school districts. Between-district income segregation of families with children enrolled in public school increased by over 15% from 1990 to 2010. Within large districts, between-school segregation of students who are eligible and ineligible for free lunch increased by over 40% from 1991 to 2012. Consistent with research on neighborhood segregation, we find that rising income inequality contributed to the rise in income segregation between schools and districts during this period. The rise in income segregation between both schools and districts may have implications for inequality in students' access to resources that bear on academic achievement.ANN OWENS is an assistant professor of sociology and (by courtesy) spatial sciences at the University of Southern California, 851 Downey Way, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1059; e-mail: annowens@usc.edu. Her research interests include sociology of education, urban sociology, social policy, and social stratification. Current research focuses on the causes, trends, and consequences of income and racial segregation between neighborhoods and schools. SEAN F. REARDON is the endowed Professor of Poverty and Inequality in Education and professor (by courtesy) of sociology at Stanford University. His research focuses on the causes, patterns, trends, and consequences of social and educational inequality; the effects of educational policy on educational and social inequality; and applied statistical methods for educational research. CHRISTOPHER JENCKS is the Malcolm Wiener Professor of Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. His recent research deals with changes in family structure over the past generation, the costs and benefits of economic inequality, the extent to which economic advantages are inherited, and the effects of welfare reform. His books include The Academic Revolution (with David Riesman);
