National Income Distributions and International Trade Flows
In this paper we model the pattern of international trade, and technological innovation and imitation between industrialized and developing regions, when preferences are nonhomothetic. By and large, models of the dynamics of North-South trade impose the assumption of unit income elasticity for all consumption goods. We relax this assumption and incorporate the insight from Engel’s Law: The budg...
متن کاملEstimating and Predicting Household Expenditures and Income Distributions
A reliable prediction of unconditional welfare distributions, like income or consumption, is essential for welfare analysis, and in particular for inequality, poverty or development studies. Where observations of expenditures or income are missing, the mean prediction based on available covariates is not just a poor estimator of the unconditional distribution; it fails to predict the required i...
متن کاملModeling Income Distributions Using Elevated Distributions
We present a two parameter family of continuous distribution on a bounded domain which has an elevated but finite density value at its lower bound. Such a characteristic appears to be useful, for example, when representing income distributions at lower income ranges. The family generalizes the one parameter Topp and Leone distribution originated in the 1950's and recently rediscovered. The fami...
متن کاملestimating claims reserves using ibnr reserves
شرکت های بیمه در قبال بیمه گذاران متعهد می شوند که به ازای دریافت حق بیمه، خسارت وارده به بیمه گذاران را جبران نمایند. بنابراین بیمه گر همیشه مبالغی را بر عهده دارد که متعلق به بیمه گذاران است و مربوط به تعهدات آینده می باشد. این مبالغ را ذخایر فنی یا technical reserves گویند. بیمه گر موظف است در پایان سال مالی، هنگام بستن حساب ها، ذخایر فنی را محاسبه و نگهداری کند. پس از وقوع خسارت، بیمه گذار ...
Estimating selection pressures from limited comparative data.
We recently introduced a novel method for estimating selection pressures on proteins, termed "volatility," which requires only a single genome sequence. Some criticisms that have been levied against this approach are valid, but many others are based on misconceptions of volatility, or they apply equally to comparative methods of estimating selection. Here, we introduce a simple regression techn...
