A Unified Approach to Economic Dominance and Inequality Measures using a General Transformation Function

Ghosh, Subir - In: Journal of Income Distribution 18 (2009) 1, pp. 42-52

We present three generalized, empirical, economic inequality definitions for the empirical dominance of the income … dominance concepts and inequality measures. This unification is achieved through the transformation function G. We study the … effects of the economic inequality definitions on location and dispersion of the income distribution. Log-normal, log …

Bimodal t-ratios: The Impact of Thick Tails on Inference

Fiorio, Carlo V.; Hajivassiliou, Vassilis; Phillips, … - University of Milan and Econpubblica; London School of …; … - 2008

This paper studies the distribution of the classical t-ratio with data generatedfrom distributions with no nite moments and shows how classical testing is affectedby bimodality. A key condition in generating bimodality is independenceof the observations in the underlying data generating process...

In this paper I examine the relationship between Pareto-optimality and group size in linear public goods games or … developed tool to identify all Pareto-optimal allocations in such settings. It turns out that under any conceivable … circumstances, ceteris paribus, small groups have a higher Pareto-ratio (Pareto-optimal allocations over total allocations) than …
