Income vs. consumption inequality in South Korea : evaluating stochastic dominance rankings by various household attributes
Heshmati, Almas; Rudolf, Robert - 2013
Using four rounds (1999, 2002, 2005, 2008) of the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), this article examines determinants of household income and consumption levels and inequalities. Unconditional as well as conditional stochastic dominance (SD) tests are performed by year, by household...

The Romano-Wolf multiple hypothesis correction in Stata
Clarke, Damian; Romano, Joseph P.; Wolf, Michael - 2019
When considering multiple hypothesis tests simultaneously, standard statistical techniques will lead to over-rejection of null hypotheses unless the multiplicity of the testing framework is explicitly considered. In this paper we discuss the Romano-Wolf multiple hypothesis correction, and...

Poverty trends in Turkey
Şeker, Sirma Demir; Jenkins, Stephen - 2013
This paper provides new evidence about poverty trends in Turkey between 2003 and 2011 and the factors accounting for them. We give particular attention to issues of statistical inference, and the choice of the poverty line and the poverty measure. Our robust conclusion is that absolute poverty...

Partial identification of the long-run causal effect of food security on child health
Millimet, Daniel L.; Roy, Manan - 2013
Food security and obesity represent two of the most significant public health issues. However, little is known about how these issues are intertwined. Here, we assess the causal relationship between food security during early childhood and relatively long-run measures of child health....

Estimation and inference for actual and counterfactual growth incidence curves
Ferreira, Francisco H. G.; Firpo, Sérgio Pinheiro; … - 2017
Different episodes of economic growth display widely varying distributional characteristics, both across countries and over time. Growth is sometimes accompanied by rising and sometimes by falling inequality. Applied economists have come to rely on the Growth Incidence Curve, which gives the...

A permutation test and estimation alternatives for the Regression Kink design
Ganong, Peter; Jäger, Simon - 2014
The Regression Kink (RK) design is an increasingly popular empirical method, with more than 20 studies circulated using RK in the last 5 years since the initial circulation of Card, Lee, Pei and Weber (2012). We document empirically that these estimates, which typically use local linear...

Robust confidence intervals for average treatment effects under limited overlap
Rothe, Christoph - 2015
Estimators of average treatment effects under unconfounded treatment assignment are known to become rather imprecise if there is limited overlap in the covariate distributions between the treatment groups. But such limited overlap can also have a detrimental effect on inference, and lead for...

Non-parametric inference for the effect of a treatment on survival times with application in the health and social sciences
DeLuna, Xavier; Johansson, Per - 2009
In this paper we perform inference on the effect of a treatment on survival times in studies where the treatment assignment is not randomized and the assignment time is not known in advance. Two such studies are discussed: a heart transplant program and a study of Swedish unemployed eligible for...
