Labour Supply of Married Women in Poland A Microeconometric Study Based on the Polish Labour Force Survey
ZEW Discussion Paper No.95-12, Mannheim#### not available in German The labour supply of married women in Poland is studied using the Polish Labour Force Survey on three econometric models, viz. Tobit, Three Regime Tobit and Heckit. It is shown that the choice of model has an influence on conclusions drawn. In particular, the Tobit model - which has been widely applied in empirical…

Income inequality decomposition by income source and the breakdown of inequality differences between two population subgroups
This study analyses first the impact of various income sources on overall income inequality in Switzerland in 1980, on the basis of the Income and Wealth Survey which was conducted during that year. The specific effect of each of these income sources is analyzed separately for male- and female-headed households and an attempt is made to also determine their role in explaining the…

An Engelian model of growth and innovation with hierarchic consumer demand and unequal incomes
The paper develops an endogenous growth model which is based on lexicographical consumer preferences. The central variable determining the long-run rate of growth is personal income distribution. Its role in the process of growth depends crucially on the assumption about productivity growth. If productivity grows proportionally to product diversity, then an unequal distribution of…

Count data models for demographic data.
Key demographic variables, such as the number of children and the number of marriages or divorces, can only take integer values. This papers deals with the estimation of single equation models in which the counts are regressed on a set of observed individual characteristics such as age, gender, or nationality. Most empirical work in population economics has neglected the fact that…

Robustness Properties of Poverty Indices
Drawing on recent work concerning the statistical robustness of inequality statistics we examine the sensitivity of poverty indices to data contamination using the concept of the influence function. We show that poverty and inequality indices have fundamentally different robustness properties, and demonstrate that an important commonly used subclass of poverty measures will be robust…

Two aspects of labor mobility: a bivariate Poisson regression approach
The study introduces a distinction between two types of labor mobility: direct job to job changes (which are assumed to be voluntary) and job changes after experiencing an unemployment spell (assumed to be involuntary). Exploiting the close relationship between those two phenomena we adopt a bivariate regression framework for our empirical analysis of data on male individuals in the…

A crisis management decision support system to reduce ingestion dose
Environmental accidents such as extensive radioactive or chemical contamination can have more serious consequences for a population than any other kind of accidents known before. Owing to the serious consequences and the high number of people who may be affected, the selection of the best countermeasures to ameliorate the imminent impact is very difficult and the political…

Robust Estimation of Personal Income Distribution Models
Statistical problems in modelling personal income distributions include estimation procedures, testing, and model choice. Typically, the parameters of a given model are estimated by classical procedures such as maximum likelihood and leastsquares estimators. Unfortunately, the classical methods are very sensitive to model deviations such as gross errors in the data, grouping effects…

Robust methods for personal income distribution models
In the present thesis, robust statistical techniques are applied and developed for the economic problem of the analysis of personal income distributions and inequality measures. We follow the approach based on influence functions in order to develop robust estimators for the parametric models describing personal income distributions when the data are censored and when they are…
