We use a unique panel of household survey data-the Austrian version of the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) for 2008-2011-which have been linked to individual administrative records on both state unemployment benefits and earnings. We assess the extent and structure of misreporting across similar benefits and between benefits and earnings. We document that many respondents fail to report participation in one or more of the unemployment programs.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
October 2022
Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying the inside of Mars to learn how it formed and changed over time, focusing on its deep mantle where certain minerals change under pressure.
- They found evidence of a special boundary in Mars' mantle using data from NASA's InSight Mission, which helps understand its temperature and composition.
- Their research suggests that the Martian mantle is colder and contains more iron than Earth's, and they’ve narrowed down possible compositions that match the boundary they observed.
Balancing data privacy and usability in the federal statistical system.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
August 2022
The federal statistical system is experiencing competing pressures for change. On the one hand, for confidentiality reasons, much socially valuable data currently held by federal agencies is either not made available to researchers at all or only made available under onerous conditions. On the other hand, agencies which release public databases face new challenges in protecting the privacy of the subjects in those databases, which leads them to consider releasing fewer data or masking the data in ways that will reduce their accuracy.

- The study analyzed the presence and ESBL activity of E. coli in surface and reclaimed water across the mid-Atlantic U.S. and found that phylogroups B1 and A were the most and least common, respectively.
- Water type influenced the distribution of phylogroups, with group A being more prevalent in reclaimed water compared to other types.
- Although general resistance to cephalosporins was low, specific groups exhibited higher resistance rates and the presence of resistance genes was linked to the water source, providing insights on water safety and public health.
