This paper analyses inequality in Ireland via a decomposition of the Gini coefficient by source of income. Using data from the Irish Household Budget Survey of 1987, seventeen components of disposable income are identified ...
This paper examines the change in welfare in Ireland over the 1987- 1994 period by investigating whether Lorenz and Generalised Lorenz dominance can be observed for household expenditure data. It also calculates bootstrapped ...
Variables typically used to measure inequality (e.g., wage earnings, household income or expenditure), are often plagued by nonrandom item nonresponse. Ignoring non-respondents or making (often untestable) assumptions on ...
The paper uses Gini decomposition analysis to evaluate changes in the spatial distribution and industry shares of total US air traffic, as well as analysing the decomposition components for individual airlines and airports ...
After deregulation in the US in 1978, air carrier networks were increasingly focused around a small number of hubs. These ‘hub-and-spoke’ (HS) networks were the predominant form of network organisation of large carriers ...
We define a distance function appropriate to the quantitative evaluation of trade reform, the coefficient of trade utilization. It is the natural measure for quota reform, and has theoretical and practical advantages over ...
Conventional resistance equations (such as those of Manning, Chézy and Darcy-Weisbach) are inappropriate for flow through emergent vegetation, where resistance is exerted primarily by stem drag throughout the flow depth ...
As research and development of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) sources at 6.7 nm (which will be based on emission from ionized gadolinium) has already begun, reliable atomic data are required in order to determine ...
This paper presents a novel approach to the reduction of short-span bridge dynamic responses to heavy vehicle crossing events. The reductions are achieved through adjustment of the vehicle suspension damping coefficient ...
The standard derivation of the accelerationist Phillips curve relates expected real wage inflation to the unemployment rate and invokes a constant price markup and adaptive expectations to generate the accelerationist price ...
