Polarization, growth and social policy in the case of Israel, 1997 - 2008
García-Fernándeza, Rosa María; Gottlieb, Daniel; … - 2012
In this paper we apply two statistical models to the measurement of polarization to Israeli income data over the past decade in order to empirically detect income classes as sub-populations of incomes concentrated around an optimal number of poles. The statistical models compared are a...

Polarization, growth and social policy in the case of Israel, 1997-2008
García-Fernández, Rosa María; Gottlieb, Daniel; … - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 7 (2013) 2013-15, pp. 1-40
In this paper we study income polarization by first comparing the efficiency of two statistical models to identify the number of poles in the income distribution empirically. The statistical models used are a multi-resolution analysis (MRA) and a log-normal approach (LNA). We then apply the...

Educational inequality in Mozambique
Berg, Servaas van der; Maia, Carlos da; Burger, Cobus - 2017
In very poor countries, inequality often means that a small part of the population maintains living standards far above the rest. This is also true for educational inequality in Mozambique: only a small segment of the population has access to higher levels of education (there are 30 times as...

International remittances and income inequality : an empirical investigation
Koechlin, Valerie (contributor);  … - 2006
The aim of this paper is to provide comprehensive empirical evidence on the relationship between international remittances and income inequality. In simple cross-country regressions we find a non-monotonic link between these two variables when using ordinary least squares, instrumental...
