We examine the performance of measures of mobility when allowance is made for the possibility of data contamination. We find that 'single-stage' indices - those that are applied directly to a sample from a multivariate i...Read more...

The performance of two broad classes of mobility indices is examined when allowance is made for the possibility of data contamination. Single-stage indices – those that are applied directly to a sample from a multivariat...Read more...

The paper analyses the performance of unemployment benefit systems in a search-theoretic framework. The criteria of evaluation comprise the alleviation of poverty and the reduction in income inequality, whilst the divers...Read more...

The intra-distributional mobility of German income dynamics is analysed using GSOEP. Transition probabilities are found to be time-varying. The tested models comprise various mixed Markov chains in discrete time and a no...Read more...
Using the GSOEP the paper analyses income mobility and inequality dynamics in Germany in the 90s at various levels of aggregation, ranging from a direct modelling of intra-distributional mobility using bivariate kernel d...Read more...

Non-parametric kernel density estimates are employed for an exploratory analysis of the distributional conseuqnces of the German tax-benefit system using GSOEP. The focuses is on the year 1991 and a detailed analysis is ...Read more...
