difficult to interpret. In order to evaluate the relative differences - i.e. the percentage by
which income is over- or underreported with respect to total expenditure - variable diffp is
created. This variable ranges from -100% (where totinc is zero and totexp positive) and a
rather substantial 8,509.8%. This variable is also highly skewed to the right (see Figure 11).
