Statistical Matching for Combining Time-Use Surveys with Consumer Expenditure Surveys: An Evaluation on Real Data

Author

Abstract

Performing a statistical match to combine two surveys made over the same population by traditional methods is shown to give biased estimates and variance of the imputed values. A method proposed by Rubin (1986) allows imputing an unobserved variable using observations in another dataset by taking into account the partial correlation between the variables that are jointly unobserved for any unit. We use a dataset where households report their expenditures and time-uses to show that fusioning expenditure and time-use surveys by Rubin's procedure allows to recover the true distribution of the missing variables and to yield minimally biased estimates
