Abstract

Abstract Missing data are an increasingly important problem in economic surveys, especially when trying to measure household wealth.

Brackets represent partial responses to asset questions and apparently significantly reduce item nonresponse. Brackets also provide a remedy to deal with nonignorable nonresponse bias, a critical problem with economic survey data.
