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...

Well-being inequality and reference groups : an agenda for new research

Praag, Bernard M. S. van - 2010

In this paper it is argued that subjective well-being of the individual depends on two types of variables. The first type consists of characteristics of the individual himself, such as age, health, income, etc. The second type of variables consists of the characteristics of the individuals...

A counting approach for measuring multidimensional deprivation

Aaberge, Rolf; Peluso, Eugenio - 2012

This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking and quantifying the extent of deprivation exhibited by multidimensional distributions, where the multiple attributes in which an individual can be deprived are represented by dichotomized variables. To this end we first aggregate deprivation...

Opportunity-sensitive poverty measurement

Brunori, Paolo; Ferreira, Francisco H. G.; Ana Lugo, Maria - 2013

We axiomatically characterize two classes of poverty measures which are sensitive to inequality of opportunity - one a strict subset of the other. The proposed indices are sensitive not only to income shortfalls from the poverty line, but also to differences in opportunities faced by people with...

Inequality of opportunity and economic growth : a cross-country analysis

Ferreira, Francisco H. G.; Lakner, Christoph; Ana Lugo, … - 2014

Income differences arise from many sources. While some kinds of inequality, caused by effort differences, might be associated with faster economic growth, other kinds, arising from unequal opportunities for investment, might be detrimental to economic progress. We construct two new metadata...

Wealth distribution, peasant production and poverty traps in African smallholder agriculture

Hoogeveen, Johannes - 1999

A model is developed for peasant households in land abundant areas who choose between two technologies for land preparation: a manual one and one using draught animals. For draught a minimum number of animals is required so that a technological non convexity exists. It follows that certain...
