A Comparison of NLSY and CPS Data
Abstract
The family income distributions of NLSY97 and CPS youth data are compared by using the generalized beta distribution of the second kind. The null hypothesis that the two data sets represent the same underlying population is rejected. The ML estimation suggests that NLSY97 data are oversampled in an income group of $11,308 or less, by about 15.7% compared to CPS data.
