Abstract

We contribute new cross-national evidence about the nature of measurement errors in employment earnings, fitting the same error components models to harmonised earnings data for Austria and the UK. For both countries, there is evidence that administrative data contain measurement errors in addition to linkage errors, and there is no mean reversion in survey measurement errors.
