Much of the statistical analysis for poverty measurement regards the data employed to estimate poverty statistics as error-free observations. However, it is amply recognized that surveys responses are not perfectly reliable and that the quality of the data is often poor, especially for...

The usual index of leading indicators has constant weights on its components and is therefore implicitly premised on the assumption that the dynamical properties of the economy remain the same over time and across phases of the business cycle. We explore the possibility that the business cycle...

The aim of this paper is to give a formal definition and consistent estimates of the extremes of a population. This definition relies on a threshold value that delimits the extremes and on the uniform convergence of the distribution of these extremes to a Pareto type distribution. The tail...
