Question: Task 1 . a . You are given an article on the Dagum regression by Domma, Condino, and Giordano ( 2 0 1 8 )

Task 1.
a. You are given an article on the Dagum regression by Domma, Condino, and Giordano (2018)(search for public articule on the web "A new formulation of the Dagum distribution in terms of income inequality and poverty measures"). In it, they propose 3 variants of a Dagum regression to simultaneously analyze inequality, income median, and poverty.
b. Find or create a dataset in R where the dependent variable is income and the independent variable is a binary variable. Name this variable (for example, gender: 1=male, 0=female; or sector: 1=Primary, 0=Secondary and tertiary)(10 points).(It is recommended not to have a very large sample (500 is ok)).
c. Manually (no using the fuctions in R already for Dagum regression) estimate the parameters beta, lambda, and delta (and their standard errors) of the likelihood function presented on page 113(below equation 38) and equations 27 and 28 using R. Do this using the mle or mle2 function. Note that this estimation should be performed only with the dependent variable, without considering the predictor. P=FDa(t;,,)=(1+t-)-
me=1(21-1)-1
1=1.
After algebra, we can express the parameters , and as function of 1, me and P, i.e.l(;y,W)=i=1n{logi+logi+logi-[i+1]log(yi)-[i+1]log(1+iyi-i)}
Consider that pj is the number of determinants of Ij,j=1,2,3, so the overall likelihood equations are (p1+p2+p3),
calculated for the general formulation as follows
dell(;y,W)delj,rj=i=1n{j,rj,ii+j,rj,ii+j,rj,ii}-i=1nj,rj,ilog(yi)+
-i=1n{j,rj,ilog[1+iyi-i]-[i+1]yi-ij,rj,i-ij,rj,ilog(yi)1+iyi-i}=0
where
j,rj,i=delidelj,rj=del(I1,i,I2,i,I3,i)delIj,idelIj,idelj,rj,
j,rj,i=delidelj,rj=del(I1,i,I2,i,I3,i)delIj,idelIj,idelj,rj
and
j,rj,i=delidelj,rj=del(I1,i,I2,i,I3,i)delIj,idelIj,idelj,rj
d. Based on the article, try to interpret these parameters (10 points).
e. Based on the likelihood function from point (c) and the first formulation (equations 39), estimate the parameters gamma (and their standard errors) for the 3 simultaneous equations (for beta, median, and delta) using mle and mle2(Hint: Use the results obtained in part (c) for the initial values of the estimation.)

First formulation
The indicators I1=1,I2=me and I3=1 which govern the first formulation of the Dagum model (21) are all positive,
hence appropriate link functions can be, for example, the following
1,i=ew1,i'
u?(()()1),mei=ew2,i'2,1,i=ew3,i'3,
f. Interpret the gamma coefficients according to the article (results given for Italy)
