Reevaluating Distributional Consequences of the Transition to Market Economy in Poland: New Results from Combined Household Survey and Tax Return Data

Brzeziński, Michał; Myck, Michal; Najsztub, Mateusz - 2019

We use Pareto imputation, survey reweighting, and microsimulation methods applied to combined household survey and tax return data to reevaluate distributional consequences of the post-socialist transition in Poland. Our approach results in the first estimates of top-corrected inequality trends...

Pareto Models, Top Incomes, and Recent Trends in UK Income Inequality

Jenkins, Stephen P. - 2016

I determine UK income inequality levels and trends by combining inequality estimates from tax return data (for the 'rich') and household survey data (for the 'non-rich'), taking advantage of the better coverage of top incomes in tax return data (which I demonstrate) and creating income variables...

An Integrated Approach for Top-Corrected Ginis

Bartels, Charlotte; Metzing, Maria - 2017

Household survey data provide a rich information set on income, household context and demographic variables, but tend to under report incomes at the very top of the distribution. Administrative data like tax records offer more precise information on top incomes, but at the expense of household...

Accounting For Individual-Specific Reliability of Self-Assessed Measures of Economic Preferences and Personality Traits

Dohmen, Thomas; Jagelka, Tomáš - 2023

measurement error. This paper presents the first attempt at measuring both revealed and self-reported reliability of individuals … cross-sectional data. We demonstrate that it predicts revealed individual reliability over and above all measured … characterises, survey conditions, and experimental treatments. We show how our simple self-reported reliability measure can be used …
