Peer reviewedLuks, Samantha; Brady, Henry E. – Evaluation Review, 2003
Discusses how to define a welfare spell (period on welfare) and how well surveys measure welfare spells. A look at survey and administrative data from two studies shows that a substantial amount of administrative churning occurs in administrative data. A single definition of a welfare spell does not appear applicable to all respondents. (SLD)

Peer reviewedLaFond, Colette; Toomey, Traci L.; Rothstein, Catherine; Wagenaar, Alexander C.; Manning, Willard – Evaluation Review, 2000
Evaluated the accuracy of three methods used to obtain policy data: (1) government surveys; (2) secondary sources; and (3) historical legal research. Findings from a study of changes in state legislation show legal research to be most accurate for established laws, but multistage data best for recent laws. (SLD)
