Estimating trends in US income inequality using the current population survey: the importance of controlling for censoring

Burkhauser, Richard V.; Feng, Shuaizhang; Jenkins, … - 2008

Using internal and public use March Current Population Survey data, we analyze trends in US income inequality (19752004). Using a multiple imputation approach where values for censored observations are imputed using draws from a Generalized Beta distribution of the Second Kind, we find that the...

Estimating Trends in U.S. Income Inequality Using the Current Population Survey: The Importance of Controlling for Censoring

Burkhauser, Richard; Feng, Shuaizhang; Jenkins, Stephen; … - Census Bureau, Department of Commerce - 2008

Using internal and public use March Current Population Survey (CPS) data, we analyze trends in US income inequality (1975–2004). We find that the upward trend in income inequality prior to 1993 significantly slowed thereafter once we control for top coding in the public use data and censoring...
