Top incomes, heavy tails, and rank-size regressions
Schluter, Christian - In: Econometrics : open access journal 6 (2018) 1, pp. 1-16
In economics, rank-size regressions provide popular estimators of tail exponents of heavy-tailed distributions. We discuss the properties of this approach when the tail of the distribution is regularly varying rather than strictly Pareto. The estimator then over-estimates the true value in the...

Kernel Density Estimation Based on Grouped Data : The Case of Poverty Assessment
Minoiu, Camelia; Reddy, Sanjay G. - 2012
Grouped data have been widely used to analyze the global income distribution because individual records from nationally representative household surveys are often unavailable. In this paper we evaluate the performance of nonparametric density smoothing techniques, in particular kernel density...

Measurement Error in Income and Schooling, and the Bias of Linear Estimators
Bingley, Paul; Martinello, Alessandro - 2014
The characteristics of measurement error determine the bias of linear estimators. We propose a method for validating economic survey data allowing for measurement error in the validation source, and we apply this method by validating Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data...

Kernel Density Estimation Based on Grouped Data : The Case of Poverty Assessment
Minoiu, Camelia; Reddy, Sanjay G. - 2007
Kernel density estimation (KDE) has been prominently used to measure poverty from grouped data (Sala-i-Martin, 2006, QJE). In this paper we analyze the performance of this method. Using Monte Carlo simulations for plausible income distributions and unit data from several household surveys, we...
