You, me and the mean : a semiparametric approach to the redistributive effects of transfer programs
Garcia-Medina, B. Cecilia - 2016
I examine how changes in the receipt of social transfers benefits associated to program reforms have affected the Canadian income distribution over the 1996-2006 period. Using the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, I apply nonparametric decomposition methods to construct density...

A nonparametric analysis of black-white differences in intergenerational income mobility in the United States
Bhattacharya, Debopam; Mazumder, Bhashkar - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 2 (2011) 3, pp. 335-379
Lower intergenerational income mobility for blacks is a likely cause behind the persistent interracial gap in economic status in the United States. However, few studies have analyzed black-white differences in intergenerational income mobility and the factors that determine these differences....

Nonparametric structural estimation of labor supply in the presence of censoring
Liang, Che-yuan - 2009
This paper extends the nonparametric method to estimate labor supply developed by Blomquist and Newey (2002) to handle cases in which there are individuals who do not work. The method is then applied to married women in Sweden from 1973 to 1999. For 1999, I find an aggregate uncompensated wage...

Microeconomic models with latent variables : applications of measurement error models in empirical industrial organization and labor economics
Hu, Yingyao - 2015
This paper reviews recent developments in nonparametric identi.cation of mea- surement error models and their applications in applied microeconomics, in particular, in empirical industrial organization and labor economics. Measurement error models describe mappings from a latent distribution to...

The Relationship between the Inflation Rate and Inequality Across U.S. States : A Semiparametric Approach
Balcilar, Mehmet - 2020
between income inequality and the inflation rate. Employing a semiparametric instrument variable (IV) estimator, we find that … threshold level of inflation rate. Below this value, inflation rate lowers income inequality. The results suggest that a … nonlinear relationship exists between income inequality and the inflation rate …

Understanding New Zealand's Changing Income Distribution 1983-98 : A Semiparametric Analysis
Hyslop, Dean; Maré, David C. - 2005
This paper analyses changes in the distribution of equivalised gross household income and income inequality in New … factors on alternative summary measures of inequality over the period. We find that changes in household structure and in the … socio-demographic characteristics of households are the main factors contributing to the rise in inequality, while the large …

Anchoring Bias and Covariate Nonresponse
Vazquez-Alvarez, R.; Boner, Christoph - 2004
Non-random item nonreponse makes identification if parameters problematic. Such nonresponse can occur with respect to both dependent and conditioning variables. A method often used to reduce nonresponse is that of adding unfolding brackets as follow up to open-ended questions. With these,...

Nonparametric Bound on the Income Distribution in the Presence of Item Nonresponse
Vazquez-Alvarez, R.; van Soest, Arthur; Melenberg, Bertrand - 1999
Item nonresponse in micro surveys can lead to biased estimates of the parameters of interest if such nonresponse is nonrandom. Selection models can be used to correct for this, but parametric and semiparametric selection models require additional assumptions. Manski has recently developed a new...
