Recovering income distributions from aggregated data via micro-simulations
Moral-Arce, Ignacio; Heras Perez, Antonio de las; … - In: Spanish journal of statistics 1 (2019) 1, pp. 13-29
For the studies of wealth, inequality and poverty, the analysis of income distribution of the individuals is a crucial issue. In practice, however, only aggregated data are available, either in groups or as a few quantiles of the distribution. To perform counterfactual exercises, it is desirable...

Regulatory Reform and Productivity Change in Indian Banking
Casu, Barbara; Ferrari, Alessandra; Zhao, Tianshu - In: The Review of Economics and Statistics 95 (2013) 3, pp. 1066-1077
This paper examines the impact of regulatory reform on productivity growth and its components for Indian banks from 1992 to 2009. We estimate parametric and nonparametric efficiency frontiers, followed by Divisia and Malmquist indexes of total factor productivity, respectively. To account for...
