Estimation of Generalized Entropy and Atkinson inequality indices from complex survey data
Biewen, Martin; Jenkins, Stephen - 2003 - This version: 11 April 2003
Applying a method suggested by Woodruff (1971), we derive the sampling variances of Generalized Entropy and Atkinson inequality indices when estimated from complex survey data. It turns out that this method also greatly simplifies the calculations for the i.i.d. case when compared to previous...

Measuring income risk
Burgess, Simon M.; Gardiner, Karen; Jenkins, Stephen; … - 2000
We provide a critique of the methods that have been used to derive measures of income risk and draw attention to the importance of demographic factors as a source of income risk. We also propose new measures of the contribution to total income risk of demographic and labour market factors....

Modelling low income transitions
Cappellari, Lorenzo; Jenkins, Stephen - 2002
We examine the determinants of low income transitions using first-order Markov models that control for initial conditions effects (those found to be poor in the base year may be a non-random sample) and for attrition (panel retention may also be non-random). Our econometric model is a form of...

Nobody to play with? : the implications of leisure coordination
Jenkins, Stephen; Osberg, Lars - 2003
We hypothesize that an individual's time use choices are contingent on the time use choices of others because the utility derived from leisure time often benefits from the presence of companionable others inside and outside the household. We develop a model of time use, and demonstrate that its...
