“…Instead of restricting covariate effects on conditional means, these regressions allow analyzing whether the effect of a given covariate changes over the conditional distribution of the dependent variable (Koenker and Hallock, 2001). Recent applications have used quantile regressions to model a range of heterogeneous effects from determinants of wages (Appleton et al, 2014), technology adoption (Sanglestsawai et al, 2014), social capital (Grootaert and Narayan, 2004) and CO 2 emissions (You et al, 2015) to impacts of economic inequality (Hassine, 2015;Nguyen et al, 2007). The conditional quantile function of given can be expressed as…”

Abstract: The recent expansion of oil palm in Indonesia is largely smallholder-driven. However, its socio-economic implications are under-examined. Analyzing farm-household data from Jambi Province, Sumatra, oil palm adoption is found to have positive consumption and nutrition effects. However, these effects are largely due to farm size expansion that is associated with oil palm adoption. Potential heterogeneity of effects among oil palm adopters is examined using quantile regressions. While nutrition effects of oil palm adoption are found to be homogenous across quantiles, the effects on non-food expenditure are expressed more strongly at the upper end of the expenditure distribution.

“…It takes another look at the extent of economic inequality through a combination of analytical approaches and data sources and confirms that inequality was moderate and declining in the years before the Arab Spring (Hassine 2015). It may, however, have been underestimated in the data because top incomes were not included, as shown for Egypt (van der Weide, Lakner, and Ianchovichina 2016).…”

“…Inequality between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions is resulting mainly from differences in returns to human capital. [5] Varvazovska and Prasilova in their paper analyze the development of the selected level of living indicators as related to households of the Capital of the Czech Republic and further it compares levels of special index numbers within EU. Distribution of wealth of the society is assessed using the Gini index number and the level of living is valued by means of the HDI (Human Development Index).…”

-Article presents the results of the Russian Federation household distribution by equivalent income in the form of stratification scale. Household equivalent incomes are estimated by authors using equivalence scales. Based on the research, the following conclusions are made. In almost all regions most households belong to the second group, which is considered to be the lower-middle class. The proportion differs throughout the regions, but on average it is 40% from the whole sample. Only in Moskovskaya oblast and Moscow city, most of households are in the third group which can be called the middle class. In the majority of Russian regions, the proportion of households below the relative poverty line is less than 10%. Median equivalent income of households belonging to poor in terms of relative poverty does not exceed the subsistence minimum in the regions of the Central Federal District. The results can be used in the development and implementation of public policies aiming at overcoming poverty and improving the quality of life of the population of the Russian Federation.
