"An Analysis of the Distribution of Wages and Salaries in Great Britain"

T.P. Hill

January 1958

In this paper methods developed for the analysis of experimental data are applied to the analysis of income data derived from a cross-section survey. Problems of analysis which are generally avoided by the use of efficient experimental designs are seen to arise in acute forms when the data are obtained from cross-section surveys.
