This paper discusses aspects of S.G. Donald et al. (2010) and R. Davidson (2010), which were presented at the Econometrics Journal sponsored special session on the econometrics of inequality measurement, held at the Royal Economics Society Meeting in Surrey in 2010. JEL Classification: C10, C14, C15, I39 ∗This discussion was prepared for presentation at the Econometrics Journal sponsored specia...

Inequality of Learning in Industrialised Countries Within-country differences in educational outcomes are compared for a large group of industrialised countries. We investigate where inequality is greatest, the association between inequality in learning and average levels of learning, the interpretation of measured levels of inequality, and differences in inequality at the top and bottom of the...

While recent research on income polarization is based on only a few approaches, this paper portrays the major methods and applies each to income distributions of Germany (1984-2000) and the US (1984-1997) using the Cross-National Equivalent Files. In addition, statistical inference is provided via bootstrap techniques. Further, we combine kernel density estimation with a unimodality test. The e...

Crossed molecular beam experiments were conducted to investigate the reaction of ground state carbon atoms, C(P j), with 1,2-butadiene, H2CCCH~CH3! (X A8), at three collision energies of 20.4 kJ mol, 37.9 kJ mol, and 48.6 kJ mol. Ab initio calculations together with our experimental data reveal that the reaction is initiated by a barrier-less addition of the carbon atom to the p system of the 1...

This study examines whether the factors that determine the welfare participation of women who experienced teenage motherhood differ from the factors that determine the welfare participation of women who had their first child at an older age. We examine these factors across the lifetimes of both groups of women. A dynamic random effects probit model is applied to investigate the extent of state ...

THE CONNEXION BETWEEN OLD AND NEW APPROACHES TO FINANCIAL SATISFACTION by Bernard M.S.van Praag In this paper we compare the new satisfaction evaluation approach, developed in the nineties by Oswald ,Clark , Blanchflower and others with the older income evaluation (IEQ) approach, developed by Van Praag and Kapteyn in the seventies of the previous century. We find that both approaches yield stri...

This paper investigates the impact of economic growth and more specifically robust economic growth along with other macroeconomic determinants on poverty levels using both the U.S. official measure of poverty and an estimated time series of Sen indices of poverty. The results reveal that the period of robust economic expansion that the U.S. economy experienced during the 1990s did not have a si...
