Fitzrovia,
London,

Organised and chaired by James Banks (UCL and IFS), Andrew Chesher (UCL and IFS and cemmap) and Thomas Crossley (University of Cambridge and IFS)

These sessions explore new methods of measuring economic constructs and quantities in household surveys. The papers will explore frontier developments in survey modes (such as internet surveys), in the measurement of particular constructs (such as preferences, attitudes to risk, expectations) and in the use of such measures in the estimation of economic models.
