Our new approach to mobility measurement involves separating out the valuation of positions in terms of individual status (using income, social rank, or other criteria) from the issue of movement between positions. The quantification of movement is addressed using a general concept of distance...

Dans la pratique, la plupart des statistiques de test ont une distribution de probabilité de forme inconnue. Généralement, on utilise leur loi asymptotique comme approximation de la vraie loi. Mais, si l'échantillon dont on dispose n'est pas de taille suffisante cette approximation peut...

In this paper we are interested in heteroskedastic regression models, for which an appropriate bootstrap method is bootstrapping pairs, proposed by Freedman (1981). We propose an ameliorate version of it, with better numerical performance.

This Chapter is about the techniques, formal and informal, that are commonly used to give quantitative answers in the field of distributional analysis - covering subjects including inequality, poverty and the modelling of income distributions. It deals with parametric and non-parametric...
