    This paper is motivated by the growing interest in estimating gender wage differences in official statistics. The wage of an employee is hypothetically a reflection of her or his characteristics, such as education level or work experience. It is possible that men and women with the same characteristics earn different wages. Our goal is to estimate the differences between wages at different quantiles, using sample survey data within a superpopulation framework. To do this, we use a parametric approach based on conditional distributions of the wages in function of some auxiliary information, as well as a counterfactual distribution. We show in our simulation studies that the use of auxiliary information well correlated with the wages reduces the variance of the counterfactual quantile estimates compared to those of the competitors. Since, in general, wage distributions are heavy-tailed, the interest is to model wages by using heavy-tailed distributions like the GB2 distribution. We illustrate the approach using this distribution and the wages for men and women using simulated and real data from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office.

    Size constrained unequal probability sampling with a non-integer sum of inclusion probabilities
    More than 50 methods have been developed to draw unequal probability samples with fixed sample size. All these methods require the sum of the inclusion probabilities to be an integer number. There are cases, however, where the sum of desired inclusion probabilities is not an integer. Then, classical algorithms for drawing samples cannot be directly applied. We present two methods to overcome the problem of sample selection with unequal inclusion probabilities when their sum is not an integer and the sample size cannot be fixed. The first one consists in splitting the inclusion probability vector. The second method is based on extending the population with a phantom unit. For both methods the sample size is almost fixed, and equal to the integer part of the sum of the inclusion probabilities or this integer plus one.

    Calibrated random imputation for qualitative data
    In official statistics, when a file of microdata must be delivered to external users, it is very difficult to propose them a file where missing values has been treated by multiple imputations. In order to overcome this difficulty, we propose a method of single imputation for qualitative data that respect numerous constraints. The imputation is balanced on totals previously estimated; editing rules can be respected; the imputation is random, but the totals are not affected by an imputation variance.

    A variant of the Cox algorithm for the imputation of non-response of qualitative data
    The Coxalgorithm allows to round randomly and unbiasedly a table of real numbers without modifying the marginal totals. One possible use of this method is the random imputation of aqualitative variable in survey sampling. A modification of the Coxalgorithm is proposed in order to take into account a weighting system, which is commonly used in survey sampling. The use of this new method allows to construct a controlled imputation method that reduces the imputation variance.
