Measuring Inequality Using Censored Data: A Multiple Imputation Approach (2009, unknown): “) A variation of the Pareto imputation method was also applied to public use CPS data on wages for 1979–1996 by Bernstein and Mishel (1997). In addition to ignoring imputation uncertainty, the Pareto imputation method has the disadvantage, shared with the cell mean imputation approach, that only a s”
Testing for stochastic dominance using the weighted McFadden-type statistic (2006, methodology): “In what follows we shall discuss a bootstrap approximation in the context of a real example that concerns pre-tax household income in the US, as discussed in the paper by Bandourian et al. (2002). We note at the outset that this problem suggests testing the following hypotheses: H 0 : FAðxÞ 1⁄4 F Bð”
A guide to the Dagum distributions (2008, background): “Figure 2: Tails and the Lorenz order for two Dagum distributions:X1 ∼ D(2, 1, 3) (dashed), X2 ∼ D(3, 1, 3) (solid), hence F1 ≥L F2.”
WEALTH INEQUALITY: A SURVEY (2015, unknown): “…of the Second Kind (Jenkins 2009, McDonald and Ransom 2008); see Kleiber and Kotz (2003) for a detailed description of all these distributions, Bandourian et al. (2003) for a comparison and Clementi and Gallegati (2005), Dagsvik et al. (2013), Reed and Fan (2008) or Sarabia et al. (2002) for…”
Statistical Methods for Distributional Analysis (2015, methodology): “(1997) and Bandourian et al. (2003). In most of these empirical studies, the generalized beta of the second kind, the Singh-Maddala and the Dagum distributions perform better than other two/three parameter distributions.”
