The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) is a potentially useful
data set to study earnings and retirement dynamics of older workers.
Respondents’ self-reported work and earnings in the SIPP are, however, likely
to be measured with error, and this measurement error may be particularly
large for older respondents who work non-standard hours. We explore the
extent of measurement error by comparing SIPP employment and earnings
data to administrative records contained in the matched Detail Earning Record.
