This study based on two primary surveys of the same households in two different years (2007/08 and 2012) assesses the extent of inter-temporal change in income of the individual workers and makes an attempt to identify the factors which explain upward mobility in alternate econometric framework,...

We analyse statistical inference for top income shares in finite samples. The asymptotic inference performs poorly even in large samples. The standard bootstrap tests give some improvement, but can be unreliable. The semi-parametric bootstrap approach is accurate in moderate and larger samples.

In this paper we present a comparative analysis of poverty and income inequality prevalent in the seven towns of Lahore. Further, an analysis of gender inequality and overall social development is presented by considering education, health, and labor market conditions. We have computed the...

This paper uses sequential stochastic dominance procedures to compare the joint distribution of health and income across space and time. It is the first application of which we are aware of methods to compare multidimensional distributions of income and health using procedures that are robust to...

We present the framework of a macro-micro simulation model for the study of the impact of economic policies on income distribution and monetary poverty in Madagascar. Modelling options and choices are discussed for the micro-economic module and for the macro-micro linkages. Econometric...

Der spürbare Anstieg der Sozialhilfeausgaben von durchschnittlich mehr als 4 % p. a. in den vergangenen Jahren ist auf einen Anstieg der Zahl der Leistungsempfänger (Fälle) zurückzuführen, während die Ausgaben je Fall seit Jahren nahezu stagnieren. Die Autoren untersuchen im vorliegenden...
