Measuring richness and poverty : a micro data application to Europe and Germany

Peichl, Andreas (contributor); Schaefer, Thilo (contributor) - 2008

In this paper, we define a new class of richness measures. In contrast to the often used headcount, these new measures are sensitive to changes in rich persons' income and therefore allow for a more sophisticated analysis of richness. We demonstrate the application of these new measures to...
