This paper examines several Bayesian methods of obtaining posterior probability density functions of the Atkinson inequality measure and its associated social welfare function, in the context of grouped income distribution data. The methods are compared with asymptotic standard errors. The role...

We examine the performance of asymptotic inference as well as bootstrap tests for the Alphabeta and Kobus-Miłoś family of inequality indices for ordered response data. We use Monte Carlo experiments to compare the empirical size and statistical power of asymptotic inference and the Studentized...

In this paper, distributions of items sampled inversely in clusters are derived. In particular, negative binomial type of distributions are obtained and their properties are studied. A logarithmic series, type of distribution is also defined as limiting form of the obtained generalized negative...

Livestock are an important component of rural livelihoods in developing countries, but data about this source of income and wealth are difficult to collect because of the nomadic and semi-nomadic nature of many pastoralist populations. Most household surveys exclude those without permanent...

Microeconomic data often have within-cluster dependence. This dependence affects standard error estimation and inference in regression models, including the instrumental variables model. Standard corrections assume that the number of clusters is large, but when this is not the case, Wald and...

Multi-stage cluster sampling is a common sampling design of social surveys because populations of interest are often … structured by, or partitioned into, disjoint organizational and administrative units. The need to use cluster sampling can … interest. This can be a complex problem if sampling units, i.e. clusters, cut across the domains of interest, as it is often …
