• A New Approach to the Gender Pay Gap Decomposition by Economic Activity 

      Lombardía, María José; López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Rueda, Cristina (Oxford University Press, 2022-01)
      [Abstract]: The aim of this paper is to present an original approach to estimate the gender pay gap (GPG). We propose a model-based decomposition, similar to the most popular approaches, where the first component measures ...
    • Empirical best prediction of small area bivariate parameters 

      Dolores Esteban, María; Lombardía, María José; López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Morales, Domingo; Pérez, Agustín (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2022)
      [Abstract]: This paper introduces empirical best predictors of small area bivariate parameters, like ratios of sums or sums of ratios, by assuming that the target unit-level vector follows a bivariate nested error regression ...
    • Selection model for domains across time: application to labour force survey by economic activities 

      Lombardía, María José; López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Rueda, Cristina (Springer Nature, 2021-03)
      [Abstract]: This paper introduces a small area estimation approach that borrows strength across domains (areas) and time and is efficiently used to obtain labour force estimators by economic activity. Specifically, the ...
    • Small area estimation of average compositions under multivariate nested error regression models 

      Esteban, M. Dolores; Lombardía, María José; López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Morales, Domingo; Pérez, Agustín (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)
      [Abstract]: This paper investigates the small area estimation of population averages of unit-level compositional data. The new methodology transforms the compositions into vectors of Rm and assumes that the vectors follow ...
    • Small area estimation of expenditure means and ratios under a unit-level bivariate linear mixed model 

      Dolores Esteban, María; Lombardía, María José; López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Morales, Domingo; Pérez, Agustín (Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
      [Abstract]: Under a unit-level bivariate linear mixed model, this paper introduces small area predictors of expenditure means and ratios, and derives approximations and estimators of the corresponding mean squared errors. ...
    • Small area estimation of labour force indicators under a multinomial model with correlated time and area effects 

      López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Lombardía, María José; Morales, Domingo (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2014-09-30)
      [Abstract] The aim of the paper is the estimation of small area labour force indicators like totals of employed and unemployed people and unemployment rates. Small area estimators of these quantities are derived from four ...
    • Small area estimation of proportions under area-level compositional mixed models 

      Dolores Esteban, María; Lombardía, María José; López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Morales, Domingo; Pérez, Agustín (Springer Nature, 2020-09)
      [Abstract]: This paper introduces area-level compositional mixed models by applying transformations to a multivariate Fay–Herriot model. Small area estimators of the proportions of the categories of a classification variable ...
