Stochastic Dominance Amongst Swedish Income Distributions
Sweden's income distribution for the whole population and for subgroups, including its immigrants, has been extensively studied. The interest in this area has grown with increasing availability of data, including panels. The previous studies are based on indices of inequality or mobility. While indices are useful for complete ordering and have an air of “decisiveness” about them, they lack univ...
متن کاملStochastic Dominance Analysis of Australian Income Distributions
We apply stochastic dominance tests to investigate trends in inequality in Australia over the period 1983 to 1998. Results show significant levels of inequalities in the income and expenditure distributions for the population as a whole as well as within population groups. We further find that the impact of the government’s tax and transfer redistribution scheme varied greatly among the differe...
متن کاملExperimental Evidence on Dominance Relations of Income Distributions
Using an experiment with material incentives, this paper investigates the violation of composite dominance relationships, viz. absolute Pareto dominance, Pareto rank dominance, transfer dominance, Lorenz dominance, and generalized Lorenz dominance. Moreover, we test tail independence. The experiment consists of two treatments, a self–concern mode (in which each subject expects payoffs according...
متن کاملA nonparametric test of stochastic dominance in multivariate distributions
The literature on statistical test of stochastic dominance has thus far been concerned with univariate distributions. This paper presents nonparametric statistical tests for multivariate distributions. This allows a nonparametric treatment of multiple welfare indicators. These test are applied to a time series of cross-section datasets on household level total expenditure and non labour market ...
متن کاملStochastic Dominance
The concept of Stochastic Dominance (SD) appeared in Economics in the context of the study of income distribution, where it provided various criteria for ranking income distributions according to classes of social welfare functions. Although stochastic dominance is still much in use for studies of income distribution and of poverty, more recently it has also found uses in financial economics, w...
