“…The benefit-granting institution would more likely than not grant benefits ( p c > 0.50) for those who meet the eligibility formula, and is more likely than not to deny benefits ( p c ≤ 0.50) for those who do not. Such studies often go on to model claiming processes, and to estimate the degree to which such variables as stigma, application process complexity, and benefit size affect benefit take-up (Kerr 1982; Moffitt 1983; Duclos 1995). In general, these studies conclude that take-up rates are substantially less than 100 percent among those eligible, which constitutes evidence of significant underclaiming.…”

Arguments that we have too much litigation (overclaiming) or too little (underclaiming) cannot be valid without estimating how many of the undecided claims that are brought (actual claims) or not brought (potential claims) have or lack legal merit. We identify the basic conceptual structure of such underclaiming and overclaiming arguments, which entails inferences about the distribution of actual or potential claims by their probability of success on the merits within a claims‐processing institution. We then survey the available methods for estimating claim merit.
