In this paper I analyse a series of techniques designed for replacing missing data. From the extensive literature on political values in post- communist countries, I selected one of the most discussed models – the one proposed by Reisinger et al. (1994). In analysing political values in Russia...

An extended single-index model is considered when responses are missing at random. A three-step estimation procedure is developed to define an estimator for the single index parameter vector by a joint estimating equation. The proposed estimator is shown to be asymptotically normal. An iterative...

We consider the estimation of measures of persistent poverty in panel surveys with missing data, focusing on the persistent poverty headcount, its duration-adjusted variant, and a related measure used by the European Union as an indicator of the risk of persistent poverty. We develop a partial...
