Summary/Abstract: The author presents a method of hierarchical bayesian estimation to estimate the value of the different income variables on the basis of studies of household budgets and POLTAX tax register. Calculations have been made for the case where approximately known a priori evaluation of hyperparameters used to construct a conditional probability, which is used in the model. The author compares the efficiency of the estimates obtained by using other hierarchical methods of estimation for small areas, including the EBLUP estimators type. This gave congruity in precision of the estimated parameters using both techniques.
