Purchase data from retail chains can provide proxy measures of private household expenditure on items that are the most troublesome to collect in the traditional expenditure survey. Due to the inevitable coverage and selection errors, bias must exist in these proxy measures. Moreover, given the sheer amount of data, the bias completely dominates the variance. To investigate the potential of replacing costly and burdensome surveys by non-survey big-data sources, we propose an audit sampling inference approach, which does not require linking the audit sample and the big-data source at the individual level. It turns out that one is unable to reject a null hypothesis of unbiased big-data estimation at the chosen size, because the audit sampling...
