  • Cowell, Frank
  • Victoria-Feser, Maria-Pia

Abstract

We show how a collection of results in the literature on the empirical estimation of welfare indicators from sample data can be unified. We also demonstrate how some of these ideas can be extended to empirically important cases where the data have been trimmed or censored.
