Approaching an investigation of multi-dimensional inequality through the lenses of variety in models of capitalism
Antonelli, Gilberto; Calia, Pinuccia Pasqualina; … - 2014
economic theory in this field after decades of globalization and in the midst of a persisting global crisis, in paragraphs 2 … why the models of capitalism theory is relevant for studying multidimensional inequality. These paragraphs emphasise that … the process of increasing inequality, the notion of symbolic violence and the models of capitalism theory. In the last …

A nifty fix for published distribution statistics : simplified distribution-free statistical inference
Beach, Charles M. - 2021
This paper applies the tool box measures of disaggregative income inequality characterization and the statistical methodology of Beach (2021) to percentile-based distribution statistics such as quintile income shares and decile means typically published by official statistical agencies. It...

Lorenzkurvendisparität : neuere Entwicklungen, Erweiterungen und Anwendungen
Wolf, Frauke - 1997
Die Disparitätsmessung hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten als Forschungsgegenstand und Anwendungsgebiet der Statistik eine ständig wachsende Bedeutung erlangt. Die bekanntesten Instrumente der klassischen Disparitätsmessung sind die Lorenzkurve und der Gini-Koeffizient. In der Arbeit wird...

A Statistical Model of Inequality
Fernholz, Ricardo T. - 2016
This paper develops a statistical model of wealth distribution that imposes no parametric structure on the fluctuations of household wealth. In this general setting, we use new techniques to obtain a closed-form household-by-household characterization of the stable distribution of wealth and...

Statistical Inference Via Bootstrapping for Measures of Inequality
Mills, Jeffrey A.; Zandvakili, Sourushe - 1998
In this paper we consider the use of bootstrap methods to compute interval estimates and perform hypothesis tests for decomposable measures of economic inequality. The bootstrap potentially represents a significant gain over available asymptotic intervals because it provides an easily...

The bayesian additive classification tree applied to credit risk modelling
Zhang, Junni L. (contributor); Härdle, Wolfgang (contributor) - 2008
We propose a new nonlinear classification method based on a Bayesian "sum-of-trees" model, the Bayesian Additive Classification Tree (BACT), which extends the Bayesian Additive Regression Tree (BART) method into the classification context. Like BART, the BACT is a Bayesian nonparametric additive...

Clustering life trajectories : a new divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm for discrete-valued discrete time series
Dlugosz, Stephan - 2011
A new algorithm for clustering life course trajectories is presented and tested with large register data. Life courses are represented as sequences on a monthly timescale for the working-life with an age span from 16–65. A meaningful clustering result for this kind of data provides interesting...

Classification-relevant importance measures for the West German business cycle
Enache, Daniel (contributor); Weihs, Claus (contributor);  … - 2005
When analyzing business cycle data, one observes that the relevant predictor variables are often highly correlated. This paper presents a method to obtain measures of importance for the classification of data in which such multicollinearity is present. In systems with highly correlated variables...

Experimental design for variable selection in data bases
Pumplün, Constanze (contributor); Weihs, Claus (contributor) - 2004
This paper analyses the influence of 13 stylized facts of the German economy on the West German business cycles from 1955 to 1994. The method used in this investigation is Statistical Experimental Design with orthogonal factors. We are looking for all existing Plackett-Burman designs realizable...
