Trade policy and the household distribution of income
Francois, Joseph F.; Rojas-Romagosa, Hugo - 2004
We explore the relationship between import protection and the household distribution of income. We first develop a general-equilibrium mapping from tariffs to household inequality measures. This also yields predictions for linkages between tariffs, development level, and observed household...

Household inequality, welfare, and the setting of trade policy
Francois, Joseph F.; Rojas-Romagosa, Hugo - 2004
We analyze general equilibrium relationships between trade policy and the household distribution of income, decomposing social welfare into real income level and variance components through Gini and Atkinson indexes. We embed these inequality-adjusted social welfare functions in a general...

A new inequality measure that is sensitive to extreme values and asymmetries
McAleer, Michael; Ryu, Hang-keun; Slottje, Daniel Jonathan - 2017
There is a vast literature on the selection of an appropriate index of income inequality and on what desirable … properties such a measure (or index) should contain. The Gini index is, of course, the most popular. There is a concurrent … Pareto distribution. But these income distribution functions (IDFs) continue to be described with a single index (such as the …

The construction and interpretation of combined cross-section and time-series inequality datasets
Francois, Joseph F.; Rojas-Romagosa, Hugo - 2005
The inequality dataset compiled in the 1990s by the World Bank and extendedby the UN has been both widely used and strongly criticized. The criticisms raisequestions about conclusions drawn from secondary inequality datasets in general. Wedevelop techniques to deal with national and...

Age-differentiated QALI losses
Ferrer-i-Carbonell, Ada; Praag, Bernard M. S. van - 2001
In this paper we evaluate the QALY loss, which may be assigned to the prevalence of specific chronic illnesses and physical handicaps. The analysis is based on an individual self-rating health satisfaction question asked in the British Household Panel Survey data set. This question provides a...
