Measuring inequality using censored data : a multiple imputation approach

Jenkins, Stephen; Burkhauser, Richard V.; Feng, Shuaizhang - 2009

To measure income inequality with right censored (topcoded) data, we propose multiple imputation for censored observations using draws from Generalized Beta of the Second Kind distributions to provide partially synthetic datasets analyzed using complete data methods. Estimation and inference...

Measurement error in earnings data: replication of Meijer, Rohwedder, and Wansbeek’s mixture model approach to combining survey and register data

Jenkins, Stephen; Rios-Avila, Fernando - 2021

Meijer, Rohwedder, and Wansbeek (MRW, Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2012) develop methods for prediction of a single earnings figure per worker from mixture factor models fitted using earnings data from multiple linked data sources. MRW apply their method using parameter estimates...

A different perspective on the evolution of UK income inequality

Atkinson, Anthony B.; Jenkins, Stephen - 2018

The socio-economic mosaic of urban neighbourhoods changes under the influence of three distinctive distributional processes: reordering of the socio-economic position of urban neighbourhoods; changing levels of inequality between neighbourhoods; and an overall growth or decline in income levels...

Modelling errors in survey and administrative data on employment earnings : sensitivity to the fraction assumed to have error-free earnings

Jenkins, Stephen; Rios-Avila, Fernando - 2020

Kapteyn and Ypma (Journal of Labour Economics 2007) is an influential study of errors in survey and administrative data on employment earnings. To fit their mixture models, Kapteyn and Ypma assume a specific fraction of their sample have error-free earnings. Using a new UK dataset, we assess the...

Combining administrative and survey data to improve income measurement

Meyer, Bruce D.; Mittag, Nikolas - 2019

We describe methods of combining administrative and survey data to improve the measurement of income. We begin by decomposing the total survey error in the mean of survey reports of dollars received from a government transfer program. We decompose this error into three parts, generalized...

Life satisfaction and relative income : perceptions and evidence

Mayraz, Guy; Wagner, Gert G.; Schupp, Jürgen - 2009

Using a unique dataset we study both the actual and self-perceived relationship between subjective well-being and income comparisons against a wide range of potential comparison groups, enabling us to investigate a broader range of questions than in previous studies. In questions inserted into a...
