Add to ORKGIn this paper we discuss an empirical strategy that allows researchers to impute consumption data from the CEX to the PSID. The strategy consists of inverting a demand for food equation estimated in the CEX. We discuss the conditions under which such procedure is successful in replicating the trends of the first two moments of the consumption distribution. We argue that two factors appear to be empirically relevant: accounting for differences in the distribution of food expenditures in the two data sets, and accounting for the presence of measurement error in consumption data in the CEX
