From The National Interest November 11, 2019 Chris Edwards Harris Public Policy Professor Bruce D. MeyerHarris Public Policy Professor Bruce D. Meyer was featured in The National Interest, discussing how data commonly used to study income inequality and poverty relies on faulty metrics which mislead those who interpret it. "Both Early and Meyer-Sullivan use a more accurate inflation measure than the one used for adjusting the official poverty rate each year," writes Chris Edwards, the article's author. "And both correct for the fact that the Census—in its main poverty series—excludes numerous government benefits including Medicaid, food stamps, and earned income tax credits. Both studies make a number of further adjustments." Full coverage available at The National Interest.
