?:abstract
  • In income modelling studies, such well-known distributions as the Dagum, the lognormal or the Zenga distributions are often used as approximations of the observed distributions. The objective of the research described in the article is to verify the possibility of using other type of distributions, i.e. asymmetric distributions derived from normal distribution (ND) in the context of income modelling. Data from the 2011 EU-SILC survey on the monthly gross income per capita in Poland were used to assess the most important characteristics of the discussed distributions. The probability distributions were divided into two groups: I – distributions commonly used for income modelling (e.g. the Dagum distribution) and II – distributions derived from ND (e.g. the SU Johnson distribution). In addition to the visual evaluation of the usefulness of the analysed probability distributions, various numerical criteria were applied: information criteria for econometric models (such as the Akaike Information Criterion, Schwarz’s Bayesian Information Criterion and the Hannan-Quinn Information Criterion), measures of agreement, as well as empirical and theoretical characteristics, including a measure based on quantiles, specifically defined by the authors for the purposes of this article. The research found that the SU Johnson distribution (Group II), similarly to the Dagum distribution (Group I), can be successfully used for income modelling. (xsd:string)
