Poverty measures and poverty orderings.

Miguel A. Sordo, Héctor M. Ramos, Carmen D. Ramosm (2007)

SORT

We examine the conditions under which unanimous poverty rankings of income distributions can be obtained for a general class of poverty indices. The "per-capita income gap" and the Shorrocks and Thon poverty measures are particular members of this class. The conditions of dominance are stated in terms of comparisons of the corresponding TIP curves and areas.

Sampling design variance estimation of small area estimators in the Spanish Labour Force survey.

Montserrat Herrador, Domingo Morales, María Dolores Esteban, Ángel Sánchez, Laureano Santamaría, Yolanda Marhuenda, Agustín Pérez (2008)

SORT

The main goal of this paper is to investigate how to estimate sampling design variances of modelbased and model-assisted small area estimators in a complex survey sampling setup. For this purpose the Spanish Labour Force Survey is considered. Sample and aggregated data are taken from the Canary Islands in the second trimester of 2003 in order to obtain some small area estimators of ILO unemployment totals. Several problems arising from the application of standard small area estimation procedures...

Some Diagnostic Tools in Robust Econometrics

Jan Kalina (2011)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Highly robust statistical and econometric methods have been developed not only as a diagnostic tool for standard methods, but they can be also used as self-standing methods for valid inference. Therefore the robust methods need to be equipped by their own diagnostic tools. This paper describes diagnostics for robust estimation of parameters in two econometric models derived from the linear regression. Both methods are special cases of the generalized method of moments estimator based on implicit...
