摘要:
We analyse statistical inference for top income shares in finite samples. The asymptotic inference performs poorly even in large samples. The standard bootstrap tests give some improvement, but can be unreliable. The semi-parametric bootstrap approach is accurate in moderate and larger samples. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
