Estimating and Combining National Income Distributions Using Limited Data
利用有限数据估计并合成国家收入分布
A major problem encountered in studies of income inequality at regional and global levels is estimating income distributions from data that are in summary form. In this article we estimate national and regional income distributions within a general framework that relaxes the assumption of constant income within groups. We propose a technique to estimate the parameters of a beta-2 distribution using grouped data. We model regional income distribution using a mixture of…
