Using Spatial Factor Analysis to Measure Human Development

Qiu, Qihua - 2017

We propose a Bayesian factor analysis model as an alternative to the Human Development Index (HDI). Our model provides methodology which can either augment or build additional indices. In addition to addressing potential issues of the HDI, we estimate human development with three auxiliary...

Measuring Gross Worker and Job Flows

Davis, Steven J.; Haltiwanger, John C. - 2021

We combine information from several different studies and data sets to assemble a fuller, more accurate picture of job flows and worker flows in U.S. labor markets. Our picture characterizes the magnitudes of job and worker flows, the connections between them, their cyclical behavior,...

The Evolution of Income, Consumption, and Leisure Inequality in the Us, 1980-2010

Attanasio, Orazio P. - 2012

,there is now mounting evidence that the CE is plagued by serious non-classical measurement error, which hinders the extent … three decades.In this paper, we use a variety of different techniques to overcome the measurement error problems with the CE …. First, we use data from the diary component of the CE, focusing on categories where measurement error has been found to be …

Hedonic Imputation Versus Time Dummy Hedonic Indexes

Diewert, Walter E.; Heravi, Saeed M.; Silver, Mick S. - 2021

Statistical offices try to match item models when measuring inflation between two periods. However, for product areas with a high turnover of differentiated models, the use of hedonic indexes is more appropriate since they include the prices and quantities of unmatched new and old models. The...

Estimating Trends in Us Income Inequality Using the Current Population Survey : the Importance of Controlling for Censoring

Burkhauser, Richard V. - 2008

Using internal and public use March Current Population Survey (CPS) data, we analyze trends in US income inequality (1975-2004). We find that the upward trend in income inequality prior to 1993 significantly slowed thereafter once we control for top coding in the public use data and censoring in...

Measuring Labor Earnings Inequality Using Public-Use March Current Population Survey Data : The Value of Including Variances and Cell Means When Imputing Topcoded Values

Burkhauser, Richard V. - 2010

Using the Census Bureau's internal March Current Population Surveys (CPS) file, we construct and make available variances and cell means for all topcoded income values in the public-use version of these data. We then provide a procedure that allows researchers with access only to the public-use...

Consistent Cell Means for Topcoded Incomes in the Public Use March CPS (1976-2007)

Larrimore, Jeff - 2010

Using the internal March CPS, we create and in this paper distribute to the larger research community a cell mean series that provides the mean of all income values above the topcode for any income source of any individual in the public use March CPS that has been topcoded since 1976. We also...
