The results suggest that entrepreneurial income is the most significant contributor to … contributions and this is mainly attributed to tax evasion, particularly in entrepreneurial income.

The degree to which overall inequality is attributable to … inequality between these sub groups or to inequality within them is investigated, employing a decomposition analysis by …

This paper analyses the evolution of inequality and poverty in Brazil during the 1980s, using a large repeated cross …-section household survey data set. We calculate standard scalar measures of inequality and poverty, together with decile means and … performed to infer population dominance, generating robust welfare and inequality comparisons. Analogously, mixed stochastic …

Applying …Using a newly available comprehensive micro-data set we examine changes in the shape of the Brazilian income … nonparametric kernel density estimation methods we also show that the shape of the underlying income distribution was transformed in …
