Is there a fade-away effect of initial nonresponse bias in EU-SILC?
Rendtel, Ulrich - 2015
Nonresponse in surveys may result in a distortion of the distribution of interest. In a panel survey the participation behavior in later waves is different from the participation behavior at the start. With register data that cover also the information for non-respondents one can observe a fade...

Robust small area estimation under spatial non-stationarity
Baldermann, Claudia; Salvati, Nicola; Schmid, Timo - 2016
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...

Estimation of linear and non-linear indicators using interval censored income data
Walter, Paul; Groß, Markus; Schmid, Timo; Tzavidis, Nikos - 2017
Among a variety of small area estimation methods, one popular approach for the estimation of linear and non-linear indicators is the empirical best predictor. However, parameter estimation using standard maximum likelihood methods is not possible, when the dependent variable of the underlying...
