Redistributive effects of fiscal policies in Mexico: Corrections for top income measurement problems. [PDF]
Lat Am Policy, 2021 Abstract This article assesses the redistributive effects of fiscal instruments in Mexico in 2010–2014, correcting for top‐income measurement problems.

Social Life Cycle Assessment of Mexico City's Water Cycle
Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 A total of 0.062 worker‐hours (WH) for 1 m3 of water used in Mexico City is estimated. Ninety‐four percent of this time present a high potential risk of social impact on the quality of employment.

Flexible domain prediction using mixed effects random forests
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C (Applied Statistics), Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 1865-1894, November 2022., 2022 AbstractThis paper promotes the use of random forests as versatile tools for estimating spatially disaggregated indicators in the presence of small area‐specific sample sizes. Small area estimators are predominantly conceptualised within the regression‐setting and rely on linear mixed models to account for the hierarchical structure of the survey data.

Inequality, income dynamics, and worker transitions: The case of Mexico
Quantitative Economics, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 1669-1705, November 2022., 2022 We characterize the salient features of the distribution of (log) earnings of formal workers in Mexico using social security records for the period 2005–2019.

Domain prediction with grouped income data
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A (Statistics in Society), Volume 184, Issue 4, Page 1501-1523, October 2021., 2021 Abstract One popular small area estimation method for estimating poverty and inequality indicators is the empirical best predictor under the unit‐level nested error regression model with a continuous dependent variable. However, parameter estimation is more challenging when the response variable is grouped due to data confidentiality concerns or ...
