Visualizing and Testing Convergence Between Two Income Distributions

Bishop, John A.; Chow, K. Victor; Zeager, Lester A. - In: Journal of Income Distribution 19 (2010) 1, pp. 2-19

We use the Interdistributional Lorenz Curves (ILCs) of Butler and McDonald (1987) to visualize convergence or divergence between income distributions. To illustrate the idea, we compare income distributions from Spain, Italy, and Germany. We also offer methods to test for significant differences...

A useful empirical tool box for distributional analysis

Beach, Charles M. - 2021

This paper offers a tool box of disaggregative measures of distributional change, including population shares, income shares, quantile mean incomes and relative mean incomes of different income groups. It highlights median-based measures along with quintiles and deciles. It also offers formulas...

Optimal Inference for Spot Regressions

Bollerslev, Tim; Li, Jia; Ren, Yuexuan - 2023

Betas from return regressions are commonly used to measure systematic financial market risks. "Good" beta measurements are essential for a range of empirical inquiries in finance and macroeconomics. We introduce a novel econometric framework for the nonparametric estimation of time-varying betas...

Semi-Parametric Indirect Inference

Dridi, Ramdan - 2008

We develop in this paper a generalization of the Indirect Inference (II) to semi-parametric settings and termed Semi-parametric Indirect Inference (SII). We introduce a new notion of Partial Encompassing which lays the emphasis on Pseudo True Values of Interest. The main difference with the...
