World income inequality databases : an assessment of WIID and SWIID
Jenkins, Stephen - 2014
This article assesses two secondary data compilations about income inequality - the World Income Inequality Database (WIIDv2c), and the Standardized World Income Inequality Database (SWIIDv4.0) which is based on WIID but with all observations multiply-imputed. WIID and SWIID are convenient and...

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...

Relative deprivation, personal income satisfaction, and average well-being under different income distributions
Seidl, Christian; Traub, Stefan; Morone, Andrea - 2005
This paper uses the data gained from an income categorization experiment for five shapes of income distributions to investigate background context effects, relative deprivation, range-frequency theory to explain background context effects, individual income satisfaction versus aggregate...

Measuring inequality without the Pigou-Dalton condition
Chateauneuf, Alain; Moyes, Patrick - 2005
Typical welfare and inequality measures are required to be Lorenz consistent which guarantees that inequality decreases and welfare increases as a result of a progressive transfer. We explore the implications for welfare and inequality measurement of substituting the weaker absolute...

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...
