This paper presents a method for the measurement of changes in health inequality and income-related health inequality … over time in a population. For pure health inequality (as measured by the Gini coefficient) and income-related health … health mobility inspired by the literature on income mobility. We also show how these measures of mobility can be usefully …

This paper reports an analysis of the evolution of equity in access to health care in Spain over the period 1987 …-2001, a time span covering the development of the modern Spanish National Health System. Our measures of access are the … Health Surveys of 1987 and 2001. We find that by 2001 the system has improved in the sense that differences in income no …

In this paper we measure the degree of income related inequality in mental health as measured by the GHQ instrument and … general health as measured by the EQOL-5D instrument for the Catalan population. We find that income is the main contributor … to inequality, although the share of inequality in mental health that can be explained by income is much greater than the …

This paper reports an analysis of income related health inequalities at the Autonomous Community level in Spain using … the self assessed health measure in the 2001 edition of the Encuesta Nacional de Salud. We use recently developed methods … in order to cardinalise and model self assessed health within a regression framework, decompose the sources of inequality …

This paper shows how recently developed regression-based methods for the decomposition of health inequality can be … extended to incorporate heterogeneity in the responses of health to the explanatory variables. We illustrate our method with an … there is an important degree of heterogeneity in the association of health to explanatory variables across birth cohorts and …
