Using panel data, we find that Canada’s tax system limits … income equalizing effect of taxes can reach up to 23 percent of mean income at the higher values of inequality aversion that …

We examine the determinants of income mobility and inequality in a Ramsey model with elastic labor supply and … relationship between mobility and inequality is complex. For example, a reduction in the interest rate and an increase in the wage … rate reduce capital income inequality and allow upward mobility of the ability-rich. However, the increase in the labor …

In particular, we show that the more progressive a tax system, the more equal the … system, the greater the degree of relative inequality aversion, the greater the progressivity index. We also discuss the link … between inequality of gross income and tax progressivity. A by-product is the derivation of a general class of inequality …

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 …
