Bayesian State-Space Modeling and Model-Based Counterfactual Analysis of Dynamic Income Distributions from Grouped Data
分组数据下动态收入分布的贝叶斯状态空间建模与反事实分析
Grouped income data contain only limited information about the evolution of income distributions over time. This paper develops a Bayesian state-space model for the generalized beta distribution of the second kind (GB2) to estimate dynamic income distributions using repeated grouped income data. By borrowing information across adjacent periods through the latent GB2 parameters, the proposed framework improves estimation precision relative to independent cross-sectional…
