        AB  - We contribute new cross-national evidence about the nature of measurement errors in employment earnings, fitting the same error components model to harmonised earnings data for Austria and the UK. The model allows for measurement error in the administrative data and linkage error as well as survey measurement error. We find several cross-national similarities in error structure but also intriguing differences in error component probabilities, means, and dispersions.
