There is a vast literature on the selection of an appropriate index of income inequality and on what desirable properties such a measure (or index) should contain. The Gini index is, of course, the most popular. There is a concurrent literature on the use of hypothetical statistical...

This article presents the estimation methods of three parameters Discrete Generalized Exponential distribution. The two-parameter generalized exponential distribution was introduced by Gupta and Kundu (1999). We present the three parameters discrete Generalized Exponential distribution is the...

This paper considers the specification and performance of jackknife estimators of the autoregressive coefficient in a model with a near-unit root. The limit distributions of sub-sample estimators that are used in the construction of the jackknife estimator are derived, and the joint moment...
