Ce texte analyse les relations entre le capital social et la santé au niveau individuel au Luxembourg. Cette analyse porte principalement sur le concept de capital social comme déterminant social de la santé et se fonde sur une hypothèse implicite basée sur l’existence d’incidence...

We apply fuzzy sets theory to measure the extent of overweight in Luxembourg. This methodology permits to differentiate between mild or severe forms of overweight and to identify the sub-populations which contribute most to global overweight. The application to residents of Luxembourg shows that...

For any given order of stochastic dominance, standard concentration curves are decomposed into contribution curves corresponding to within-group inequalities, between-group inequalities, and transvariational inequalities. We prove, for all orders, that contribution curve dominance implies...
