Measuring Work-Related Expenses in the Redesigned 2014 SIPP Panel: Methods and Implications
Working Paper Number: SEHSD-WP2016-02
Abstract
Given that the current method of calculating the work-related expenses deduction used in the Supplemental Poverty Measure is no longer appropriate due to changes in data collection, this research evaluates alternate methodologies to calculate the work-related expense deduction when using data from the 2014 and later Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) Panels.
