The bias of the Gini coefficient due to grouping
Van Ourti, Tom; Clarke, Philip M. - 2008
We propose a first order bias correction term for the Gini index to reduce the bias due to grouping. The first order … reveals an intuitive formula for the remaining second order bias which is useful in empirical analyses. We analyze the … it reduces a considerable share of the bias due to grouping. …

Borghorst, Malte; Mulalic, Ismir; Ommeren, Jos van - 2021
It has been documented that the gender pay gap strongly increases after the birth of the first child. We focus on Denmark and show that gender differences regarding commuting play an important role in explaining this. We offer 3 pieces of evidence. First, the gender pay and commuting gaps come...
