Information-Theoretic Deconvolution Approximation of Treatment Effect Distribution
May 1, 2007 • Working Papers • By Ximing Wu and Jeffrey Perloff
Abstract This study proposes an information-theoretic deconvolution method to approximate the entire distribution of individual treatment effect. This method uses higher-order information implied by the standard average treatment effect estimator…

GMM Estimation of a Maximum Distribution With Interval Data
March 1, 2005 • Working Papers • By Jeffrey Perloff and Ximing Wu
Abstract We develop a GMM estimator for the distribution of a variable where summary statistics are available only for intervals of the random variable. Without individual data, once cannot calculate…
China’s Income Distribution, 1985-2001
February 1, 2005 • Working Papers • By Jeffrey Perloff and Ximing Wu
Abstract We employ a new method to estimate China’s income distributions using publicly available interval summary statistics. We examine rural, urban and overall income distributions from 1985-2001. We show how…
China’s Income Distribution Over Time: Reasons for Rising Inequality
February 1, 2004 • Working Papers • By Jeffrey Perloff and Ximing Wu
Abstract We use a new method to estimate China’s income distributions using publicly available interval summary statistics from China’s largest national household survey. We examine rural, urban, and overall income…
Effects of Government Policies on Income Distribution and Welfare
February 1, 2002 • Working Papers • By Amos Golan, Jeffrey Perloff and Ximing Wu
Abstract A parametric and a semiparametric model produce qualitatively similar estimates of government policy effects on income distribution and welfare (as measured by the Gini, standard deviation of logarithms, relative…
