摘要
The Dagum model is frequently applied to the analysis of income and wage distributions all over the world. It has many desirable statistical properties and turned out to be well fitted to empirical distributions in different divisions. The estimates of its parameters can be applied to the evaluation of numerous income distribution characteristics, including inequality, poverty and wealth indices, dispersion measures based on quantiles and concentration curves. They can also be used to compare income distributions in space and over time. The estimation of these characteristics needs reliable Dagum distribution estimates. The paper is devoted to the analysis of statistical properties of various estimators of the Dagum distribution parameters.
