The tragedy of the census.
The author discusses the debate on how to reduce the undercount error in the 2000 U.S. census. He reviews the history of the census, and considers the impact of the "opposing ¿interest groups' represented in Congress and elsewhere debating methodological issues that can affect the distribution of census-allocated resources [who] tend to favor methodological choices that will increase their resources."
