  • 10. Trickling Down or Fizzling Out? Economic Performance, Transfers, Inequality and Low Income Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M1997110
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The objectives of this paper are to determine the empirical relationships between economic performance, transfers and low income among Canadian families, and to explore whether these relationships have changed over time. Similar recent studies in the US find a weakening in the relationship between economic growth and low income reduction over the past 25 years. Using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances of Statistics Canada, we find that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between economic performance and the incidence of low income among families in Canada for the period from 1973 to 1995. Government transfers are also found to lift families above the low income threshold. These results are robust across different family types and for three different measures of low income.

    We also find a weakening in the relationship between improved economic performance and low income reduction for most family types between 1973 and 1995, and for all family types after 1980. This weakening is associated with rising pre-transfer income inequality among families. Increasing inequality has also reduced the negative impact of transfers on low income rates.

  • 9. Diagnostics for formation of nonresponse adjustment cells, with an application to income nonresponse in the U.S Consumer Expenditure Survey Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X19970013103
    Description:

    This paper discusses the use of some simple diagnostics to guide the formation of nonresponse adjustment cells. Following Little (1986), we consider construction of adjustment cells by grouping sample units according to their estimated response probabilities or estimated survey items. Four issues receive principal attention: assessment of the sensitivity of adjusted mean estimates to changes in k, the number of cells used; identification of specific cells that require additional refinement; comparison of adjusted and unadjusted mean estimates; and comparison of estimation results from estimated-probability and estimated-item based cells. The proposed methods are motivated and illustrated with an application involving estimation of mean consumer unit income from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey.

  • 10. Divergent Inequalities - Theory and Empirical Results (Revised Edition) Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M1997066
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Widely used summary measures of inequality or the "disappearing middle class" are potentially misleading. Divergences between evidence cited and conclusions drawn include failing to distinguish the concepts of inequality and polarization, and using scalar ôinequalityö measures which are not consistent with rankings based on Lorenz curves. In addition, inappropriate claims about trends in inequality can arise from focusing on only a sub-population such as full-time male workers, and failing to account for sampling variability. These divergences are illustrated using Canadian data on labour incomes over the 1967 to 1994 period.
