DESCRIPTION:CIREQ Lunch Seminar: Shaimaa Yassin \n\n'Correcting Measurement
  Errors in Transition Models Based on Retrospective Panel Data'\n	(Co-Autho
 red with François Langot)\n\nAbstract:\n	This paper offers a method to corr
 ect for measurement errors that could arise when estimating transition rat
 es and stocks relying on retrospective panels. A dynamic n-state transitio
 n model is built to allow for the correction of errors in both transitions
  and stocks\, when very little auxiliary information is available\, over a
  long period of time\, and taking into consideration the macroeconomic cyc
 lical fluctuations. The method is particularly useful for the assessment o
 f labor market dynamics in developing countries where frequent data collec
 tion is costly and recalled information raise to be the only candidate for
  these research purposes. It is sufficient to have validation population m
 oments for only one point in time to estimate the measurement errors in ou
 r model. Using a Simulated Method of Moments\, a transition- and time-spec
 ific correction matrix is estimated\, to correct both labor market flows a
 nd stocks\, in a biased retrospective panel. Recalled and validation data 
 on workers' flows and stocks from Egypt are used to show the significance 
 and robustness of our correction method. A reform evaluation application i
 s also used to show the significance of maintaining the cyclical informati
 on in the data by relying on a dynamic transition model.\n\n \n\n \n
