dc.description.abstract | There is a concern that ordered responses on health questions may differ across populationsor even across subgroups of a population. This reporting heterogeneity may invalidate groupcomparisons and measures of health inequality. This paper proposes a test for differentialreporting in ordered response models which allows us to distinguish between cut-point shiftand index shift. The method is illustrated using Canadian National Population Health Surveydata. The McMaster Health Utility Index (HUI) is used as a more objective health measurethan the simple 5-point scale of self-assessed health. We find clear evidence of index shiftingand cut-point shifting for age and gender, but not for income, education or language. | en |
