On the variability of income within and across generations
Jäntti, Markus; Lindahl, Lena - In: Economics Letters 117 (2012) 1, pp. 165-167
We examine the association of income variability both within and across generations based on a heterogeneous growth model of permanent and transitory income in Sweden. Non-parametric regressions reveal that income variability is strongly associated with long-run levels of income, especially for...

Nonparametric Bounds on the Income Distribution in the Presence of Item Nonresponse
Melenberg, Bertrand; van soest, arthur; Vazquez-Alvarez, R. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1999
Item nonresponse in micro surveys can lead to biased estimates of the parameters of interest if such nonresponse is nonrandom. Selection models can be used to correct for this, but parametric and semiparametric selection models require additional assumptions. Manski has recently developed a new...

Nonparametric Modeling of the Anchoring Effect in an Unfolding Bracket Design
Melenberg, Bertrand; van soest, arthur; Vazquez-Alvarez, R. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1999
Household surveys are often plagued by item non-response on economic variables of interest like income, savings or the amount of wealth. Manski (1989,1994, 1995) shows how, in the presence of such non-response, bounds on conditional quantiles of the variable of interest can be derived, allowing...
