How does revolutionary technological change impact wealth inequality? We turn to the mother of all technological shocks–the Industrial Revolution–and analyze its role for wealth concentration both empirically and theoretically. Based on a novel dataset on wealth shares at the level of...

Different stochastic simulation methods are used in order to check the robustness of the outcome of policy simulations … possible margin. Because of nonlinearities confidence intervals for the simulation results have to be obtained by means of … stochastic simulations. The main contribution of this paper consists in presenting the simulation results. The robustness of …

Geographically weighted small area methods have been studied in literature for small area estimation. Although these approaches are useful for the estimation of small area means efficiently under strict parametric assumptions, they can be very sensitive to outliers in the data. In this paper, we...

We provide a simulation smoother to a exible state-space model with lagged states and lagged dependent variables. Qian … efficient simulation smoother, which relies on mean corrections for unconditional vectors. When applied to a factor model, the … proposed simulation smoother for the states is efficient compared to other state-space models without lagged states and …

The focus of the paper is on the analysis of the individual determinants of self-employment in East Germany after unification, with special respect to the dynamic issues which may arise. The data set used is the Arbeitsmarkt-Monitor für die neuen Bundesländer, which is a panel data set...

I propose a method to decompose changes in income inequality into the contributions of policy changes, wage rate changes, and population changes while considering labor supply reactions. Using data from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), I apply this method to decompose the increase in income...
