We link life-satisfaction data to inequality of the pre- and post-government income distribution at the regional level …, to estimate the degree of inequality aversion. Three different inequality measures are used. In addition, we investigate … whether a reduction in inequality by the state increases individual well-being. We find only weak evidence that Germans are …

This paper examines the causal relationship between inequality and a number of macroeconomic variables frequently found … in the inequality and growth literature. These include growth, openness, wages, and liberalisation. We review the … existing cross-country empirical evidence on the effects of inequality on growth and the extent to which the poorest in society …

Based on data from the … results from two independently drawn panel sub-samples, started in 1984 and 2000, respectively. Both sub-samples carried on …

This paper uses … the obtained characterization results to arrange the members of two different generalized Gini families of inequality … ranking of a set of Lorenz curves. From the weight-functions of these inequality measures we obtain intuitive interpretations …
