The paper investigates how comparisons of multivariate inequality can be made robust to varying the intensity of focus … on the share of the population that are more relatively deprived. It follows the dominance approach to making inequality … multidimensional inequality “frontier”, we are able to reconcile the literature on multivariate relative poverty and multivariate …

This paper develops the link between poverty and inequality by focussing on a class of poverty indices (some of them …

Decomposing inequality indices across household groups or income sources is useful in estimating the contribution of … each component to total inequality. This can help policy makers draw efficient policies to reduce disparities in the … distribution of incomes using targeting tools. Decomposing relative inequality indices, such as the Gini coefficient, is not a …

This paper develops criteria for a new concept of restricted inequality dominance and show how they relate to criteria … for comparing relative poverty. The results warn against the use of some popular indices of inequality. They do, however … poverty and restricted inequality. We also illustrate graphically how the new criteria of restricted inequality dominance …

We develop a model of child labour where poverty and inequality combine to determine policy response to child labour … wealth inequality, benefit from adopting child labour laws. This is because such laws commit an economy with either of those …

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 …
