“…The third econometric issue stems from possible measurement error in the SRH variable from three sources: pure measurement error (see Bound, Brown and Mathiowetz, ; Crossley and Kennedy, ), the justification bias (see Stern, ; Bound, ), or the basing of SRH on subjective judgment, which may hinder comparison across individuals (Kapteyn, Smith and Van Soest, ; Meijer, Kapteyn and Andreyeva, ) . It is also worth noting that the pure measurement error and the reporting differences are likely to attenuate the effects of SRH on employment and wages, whereas the justification bias will most probably exaggerate its effects (Bound, ; Brown et al ., ; Blundell, French and Tetlow, , pp. 485–487).…”
