英文文献:Comparison of Approaches to Measuring the Causes of Income Inequality-衡量收入不平等原因的方法比较
英文文献作者:Satimanon, Monthien
英文文献摘要:
Most of the inequality literature in the United States and developing countries has focused on education and fringe benefit provided by government as determinants of income inequality. The partial effect (sign, magnitude, and significance) of education on the measure of income inequality depends not only on the return to education but also position of unit of observation on the upper and lower tail of income distribution. In the recent development literature, it has been pointed out that there exists the endogeneity issue regarding the causality of income inequality and education attainment. Hence, the estimating results of partial effect might be inconsistent. Taking advantages of the newly developed quantile regression with control function, this study compares the result from conventional estimation to the results of this new estimation method.
在美国和发展中国家,大多数关于不平等的文献都把重点放在教育和政府提供的附加福利上,认为这是收入不平等的决定因素。教育对收入不平等测度的部分效应(符号、大小、显著性)不仅取决于对教育的回归,还取决于观察单位在收入分配上下尾部的位置。在最近的发展文献中,已经指出存在收入不平等与受教育程度因果关系的内生性问题。因此,部分效应的估计结果可能不一致。利用新开发的带控制函数的分位数回归,将传统估计结果与新估计方法的结果进行了比较。
