The trend over time of the gender wage gap in Italy

Mussida, Chiara; Picchio, Matteo - In: Empirical Economics 46 (2014) 3, pp. 1081-1110

We analyse gender wage gaps in Italy in the mid-1990s and in the mid-2000s. In this period, important labour market developments took place and they could have had a gender asymmetric impact on wages. We identify the time trends of different components of the gender wage gap across all the wage...

Sample size determination for paired right-censored data based on the difference of Kaplan–Meier estimates

Su, Pei-Fang; Li, Chung-I; Shyr, Yu - In: Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 74 (2014) C, pp. 39-51

Sample size determination is essential to planning clinical trials. Jung (2008) established a sample size calculation formula for paired right-censored data based on the logrank test, which has been well-studied for comparing independent survival outcomes. An alternative to rank-based methods...

The gender wage gap by education in Italy

Mussida, Chiara; Picchio, Matteo - In: Journal of Economic Inequality 12 (2014) 1, pp. 117-147

This paper studies the gender wage gap by educational attainment in Italy using the 1994–2001 ECHP data. We estimate wage distributions in the presence of covariates and sample selection separately for highly and low educated men and women. Then, we decompose the gender wage gap across all the...

Evidence of q-exponential statistics in Greek seismicity

Antonopoulos, Chris G.; Michas, George; Vallianatos, … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 409 (2014) C, pp. 71-77

We study the seismicity (global seismic activity) that occurred in Greece between 1976 and 2009 based on the dataset reported in Makropoulos et al. (2012), using concepts of non-extensive Statistical Physics. By considering the entire and declustered datasets, for which the aftershocks have...

The life cycle of initial public offering companies in China

Liu, Jia; Li, Dairui - In: Journal of Applied Accounting Research 15 (2014), pp. 291-307

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the extent to which the company's post- initial public offering (IPO) outcome varies, along with the determinants of the post-IPO outcomes. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use Cox proportional hazards models to examine what...

On cumulative residual entropy of order statistics

Park, Sangun; Kim, Ilmun - In: Statistics & Probability Letters 94 (2014) C, pp. 170-175

Cumulative residual entropy has been proposed by Rao et al. (2004). In this paper, we first show a representation of the cumulative residual entropy of the first r order statistics as a single integral. Then we provide some related results including recurrence relations, identity and...

A Note on a Generalization of the Exponentiated Pareto Distribution

Ibrahim, Elbatal; Faton, Merovci - In: Economic Quality Control 29 (2014) 1, pp. 11-11

In this paper we introduce the so-called McDonald Exponentiated Pareto distribution. We provide a number of mathematical properties of this distribution and derive among others expressions for its moment-generating function, the rth moment, and the Renyi entropy. Finally, we present the...

On Kullback–Leibler information of order statistics in terms of the relative risk

Park, Sangun - In: Metrika 77 (2014) 5, pp. 609-616

The representation of the entropy in terms of the hazard function and its extensions have been studied by many authors …

Identification of survival functions through hazard functions in the Clayton-family

Sen, Arusharka; Stute, Winfried - In: Statistics & Probability Letters 87 (2014) C, pp. 94-97

In a multivariate nonparametric setup the survival function is not identifiable from the hazard function. Things may …
