Dealing with incomplete household panel data in inequality research

Frick, Joachim R.; Grabka, Markus M.; Groh-Samberg, Olaf - 2010

Population surveys around the world face the problem of declining cooperation and participation rates of respondents. Not only can item nonresponse and unit nonresponse impair important outcome measures for inequality research such as total household disposable income; there is also a further...

Measuring inequality using censored data : a multiple imputation approach

Jenkins, Stephen; Burkhauser, Richard V.; Feng, Shuaizhang - 2009

To measure income inequality with right censored (topcoded) data, we propose multiple imputation for censored observations using draws from Generalized Beta of the Second Kind distributions to provide partially synthetic datasets analyzed using complete data methods. Estimation and inference...

The top tail of the wealth distribution in Germany, France, Spain, and Greece

Bach, Stefan; Thiemann, Andreas; Zucco, Aline - 2015

We analyze the top tail of the wealth distribution in Germany, France, Spain, and Greece based on the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). Since top wealth is likely to be underrepresented in household surveys we integrate the big fortunes from rich lists, estimate a Pareto...
