A Test of the Validity of Imputed Legal Immigration Status
We evaluate the performance of a widely used technique for imputing the legal immigration status of U.S. immigrants in survey data—the logical imputation method.

When using this measure as a benchmark, the imputation algorithm correctly identifies the legal status of 78% of farmworkers. Of …

Rising national inequality is driven by rising ine…
