Data available in commonly employed consumer surveys, like the \emph{Consumer Expenditure Survey} in the US, are widely known to be affected by measurement errors. Ignoring the effect of such errors in the estimation of consumption models may result in severely biased estimates of the quantities of interest. In this thesis I consider identification of three different models of consumption behavior allowing for the presence of measurement errors. Identification is particularly difficult to achieve due to the high non-linearity of the specifications involved and to peculiarities of consumptions models. In fact in many instances, allowing for mismeasured covariates also implies correlated measurement errors also in the dependent variable....
