| Abstract: | This article considers the problem of modeling welfare participation when measurement error may affect simulated welfare entitlement. The authors identify a flaw in past implementations of the ML approach and develop a more appropriate ML approach. Welfare participation model is estimated for British pensioners, linking the probability of participation to the value of benefit entitlement, incorporating the nonlinear rule relating entitlement to the household's income and financial assets. This model is used to evaluate the claim costs incurred by participants. |
