The link literally is a published study. Not sure if that's supposed to be some kind of gotcha. Fed research generally isn't published in third party journals.

And the method you describe isn't weak at all, compared to social sciences research in general. If anything, it's stronger than most could possibly be, since lying on the survey is a crime in this case.

I just expected a little more information around their data source other than "It's hard to find good data, this proprietary source (so you can't look at it) is the best we could find, it has some known biases, but we eyeballed it and it looks good enough". In particular I was looking for a full study that explained what "very similar" meant since the fairness of that input data seems it's key to their results.
