We propose a first order bias correction term for the Gini index to reduce the bias due to grouping. The first order … correction term is obtained from studying the estimator of the Gini index within a measurement error framework. In addition, it … reveals an intuitive formula for the remaining second order bias which is useful in empirical analyses. We analyze the …

sub-population can lead to selection bias on estimates of inequality. This paper draws on the approach by Manski (1989 … of non-respondents. The theory is illustrated measuring earnings inequality (over time and between samples) for post …

The upward bias of the widely used Thompson-Waller estimator has been pointed out in the literature. In contrast the … current paper provides a case the estimator would have downward bias. Such case satisfies the two conditions: (i) the buy … (sell) order tends to follow buy (sell) order and (ii) the price change associated to such orders are small. The upward bias …

This paper examines whether reweighting procedures and the … Survey of Wellbeing via Instant and Frequent Tracking methodology can eliminate the bias in poverty estimation based on the …

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 with Danish administrative registers. We find that measurement error in …
