Gini decompositions and Gini elasticities : on measuring the importance of income sources and population subgroups for income inequality
Jurkatis, Simon; Strehl, Wolfgang - 2014
This paper points to flaws in Gini decompositions by income sources and population subgroups and to common pitfalls in the interpretation of decomposition results, focusing on methods within the framework of Rao (1969). We argue that within this framework Gini elasticities may provide the only...

Social institutions and economic inequality : modeling the onset of the Kuznets curve
Alvarez-Pereira, Brais; Bale, Catherine S. E.; Furtado, … - 2015
Theoretical models of the Kuznets Curve have been purely analytical with little contribution towards an understanding of the timing of the process and the presence of additional mechanisms affecting its timing. This paper proposes an agent-based version of Acemoglu and Robinson's model of the...
