Analysing Inequalities in Germany

A Structured Additive Distributional Regression Approach

von Alexander Silbersdorff

98 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book seeks new perspectives on the growing inequalities that our societies face, putting forward Structured Additive Distributional Regression as a means of statistical analysis that circumvents the common problem of analytical reduction to simple point estimators. This new approach allows the observed discrepancy between the individuals’ realities and the abstract representation of those realities to be explicitly taken into consideration using the arithmetic mean alone. In turn, the method is applied to the question of economic inequality in Germany.
