Sen [1976] with the Gini index of poverty gap ratio, that is, a fundamental component of Sen’s poverty index. The problem … is that this Gini index does not offer any information on the determinants of the inequalities. For this purpose, Mussard … [2004] introduced the bidimensional decomposition of the Gini ratio, where both sub-groups and income sources are jointly …

of atypical observations. The aim of this work is to propose a l1 Gini regression for panel data. It is shown that the … fixed effects within-group Gini estimator is more robust than the OLS one when the data are contaminated by outliers. This … semi-parametric Gini estimator is proven to be an U-statistics, consequently, it is asymptotically normal. …

Following Milanovic's (1997) paper [Economics Letters, vol. 56, p. 45-49], we propose a simple way to compute the Gini …

The purpose of this paper is to extend Dagum’s Gini decomposition (“A New Approach to the Decomposition of the Gini … Income Inequality Ratio”, Empirical Economics 22(4), 515-531, 1997a) following three types of theoretical modelisation. The … provide a parametric multi-decomposition in order to capture different dimensions of income inequality within groups and …

Income inequality measures involve two sub-classes of decomposable measures: those decomposed by sub-groups and those … the inequality related to each factor of income (labour income, capital income, social taxes, etc.). The aim of this …

Gini and entropy are the most use measures to gauge income inequalities. We show that each measure yields different … subgroup decomposition techniques into within-group inequalities and between-group inequalities. Then, we show that the Gini …

In most welfare analyses, especially in the literature on normative inequality measurement, it is a commonplace to …

The paper explores different applications of the Shapley value for either inequality or poverty measures. We first … investigate the problem of source decomposition of inequality measures, the so-called additive income sources inequality games … income sources inequality games provide dual results compared with Chantreuil and Trannoy's ones. We also investigate the …

Income variablity reduces social welfare if individuals are risk averse, and it is likely to increase inequality if … poorer households are more vulnerable to shocks.
