The generalized lognormal distribution as an income distribution (2003)

Kleiber,Christian, Scheid,Stefanie

Over the last 100 years, a large number of distributions has been proposed for the modeling of size phenomena, notably the size distribution of personal incomes (see, for example, Kleiber and Kotz,...

Testing and dating of structural changes in practice (2003)

Achim Zeileis, Christian Kleiber, Walter Krämer, Kurt Hornik

The paper presents an approach to the analysis of data that contains (multiple) structural changes in a linear regression setup. We implement various strategies which have been suggested in the...

Monitoring structural change in dynamic econometric models (2002)

Zeileis, Achim, Leisch, Friedrich, Kleiber, Christian, Hornik, Kurt

The classical approach to testing for structural change employs retrospective tests using a historical data set of a given length. Here we consider a wide array of fluctuation-type tests in a...

Finite sample efficiency of OLS in linear regression models with long-memory disturbances (2000)

A characterization of income distributions in terms of generalized Gini coefficients

Samuel Kotz, Christian Kleiber

Most commonly used parametric models for the size distribution of incomes possess only a few finite moments, and hence cannot be characterized by the sequence of their moments. However, all income...
