read the role of over-sampling of the wealthy in the survey of consumer finances by arthur b kennickell

a dual-frame sample

because the wealthiest one percent of households is estimated to hold about a third of all household net worth, it is critical that the scf pay particular attention to that rarefied group

the area-probability (ap) sample is selected from a geographically based national frame..about two thirds of the ultimately completed cases derive from this sample

the sample specifically excludes people who are listed as being members of the forbes list of the 400 wealthiest people in the u.s.

non-response, which is differentially higher among the wealthy

about 98 percent of scf cases with at least us$ 5 million of net worth in 2004 derived from the list sample; more than 85 percent of cases with at least us$ 1 million of net worth and about 75 percent of the cases with at least us$ 500,000 dollars came from this sample

response rates decline with capital income and rise with age and with amounts of charitable contributions made

the scf devotes substantial time and money to dealing with cooperation problems among the wealthy

despite the large difference in the levels of wealth at the top of the wealth distribution under the two samples, the shares of the wealthiest one percent are very similar - about one-third of the total.  but the standard errors are quite different - 5.1 under the ap sample and 1.2 under the combined samples

 

read does employer competition improve working conditions? by trent thompson

lack of competition among employers depresses not only wages, but also non-wage aspects of employment such as working conditions

the non-wage effects of employer power

a census of mining employment and safety

i use czs instead of metropolitan statistical areas (msas) because msas, by definition, do not account for rural areas where the majority of mining operations tend to be located

higher labor market concentration is significantly associated with higher rates of workplace accidents (model a), illnesses (model b), injuries (model c), and deaths (model d), such that a 10 percent increase in concentration is associated with around a 2 percent increase in the incidence rates of all four outcomes

just as market power affords employer's the ability to depress wages, it also affords them the ability to debase working conditions.  what is more, the effect of concentration on workplace safety appears to be many times larger than the effect on wages
