Distributional Dominance with Dirty Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distributional dominance criteria are commonly applied to draw welfare inferences about comparisons, but conclusions drawn from empirical implementations of dominance criteria may be inßuenced by data contamination. We examine a non-parametric approach to reÞning Lorenz-type comparisons and apply the technique to two important examples from the LIS data-base. ¤

Flexible Shortcuts: Linguistic Distributional Information Affects both Shallow and Deep Conceptual Processing
Previous research has shown that people use both embodied perceptual simulations and linguistic distributional knowledge during conceptual processing, with linguistic information especially useful for shallow tasks and rapid responding. Using two conceptual combination tasks, we show that this linguistic shortcut is evident in both shallow and deep conceptual processing of novel stimuli. Specif...
متن کاملBootstrap Tests for Distributional Treatment Effects in Instrumental Variable Models
This article considers the problem of assessing the distributional consequence s of a treatment on some outcome variable of interest when treatment intake is (possibly) nonrandomized , but there is a binary instrument available for the researcher. Such a scenario is common in observationa l studies and in randomized experiments with imperfect compliance. One possible approach to this problem is...
متن کاملMeasuring group disadvantage with inter- distributional inequality indices: A critical review and some amendments to existing indices
A long literature on inter-distributional inequality (IDI) has developed statistical tools for measuring the extent of inequality between two groups (e.g. men versus women). The paper reviews some of the most prominent IDI indices proposed in the last four decades. The assessment focuses on how these indices react to inequalities that are disadvantageous to different groups, using two operation...
متن کاملDetermining Word Sense Dominance Using a Thesaurus
The degree of dominance of a sense of a word is the proportion of occurrences of that sense in text. We propose four new methods to accurately determine word sense dominance using raw text and a published thesaurus. Unlike the McCarthy et al. (2004) system, these methods can be used on relatively small target texts, without the need for a similarly-sensedistributed auxiliary text. We perform an...
متن کاملDouble Robust Semiparametric Efficient Tests for Distributional Treatment Effects under the Conditional Independence Assumption
This note describes methods to test for distributional treatment effects under the conditional independence assumption. The differences between latent outcome distributions are judged by testing hypotheses of distributional equality and stochastic dominance. Furthermore, semiparametric efficient versions of the test statistics are given. The latter test statistics are double robust, i.e., they ...
