Rising poverty and inequality increases the risk of social instability in countries all around the world. For measuring … poverty and inequality there exists a variety of statistical indicators. Estimating these indicators is trivial as long as the … income variable. Based on these pseudo samples, poverty and inequality indicators are estimated. The standard errors of the …

Small area models typically depend on the validity of model assumptions. For example, a commonly used version of the Empirical Best Predictor relies on the Gaussian assumptions of the error terms of the linear mixed model, a feature rarely observed in applications with real data. The present...

We note that the existence of the maximum likelihood estimates for Poisson regression depends on the data configuration. Because standard software does not check for this problem, the practitioner may be surprised to find that in some applications estimation of the Poisson regression is...

We extend the simulation results given in Santos-Silva and Tenreyro (2006, "The Log of Gravity", The Review of Economics and Statistics, 88, pp.641-658) by considering data generated as a finite mixture of gamma variates. Data generated in this way can naturally have a large proportion of zeros...
