We construct key household and individual economic variables using a panel micro data set from the Russia Longitudinal … Monitoring Survey (RLMS) for 1994-2005. We analyze cross-sectional income and consumption inequality and find that inequality … decreased during the 2000-2005 economic recovery. The decrease appears to be driven by falling volatility of transitory income …

illustrate that capital income (CI = return on financial investments) and imputed rent (IR = return on investments in owner …-occupied housing) have become increasingly important sources of economic inequality in Germany over the last two decades. Whereas the … regulation by the European Commission, (EC) which is currently being used to harmonize income measurement for the European …

To assess the impact of tax-benefit policy changes on income distribution over time, we suggest a methodology based on … (benefit amounts, tax bands, etc.), and all other changes in the underlying population (market income inequality, demographic … composition, employment level, etc.). Then, the decomposition helps to extract an absolute measure of the impact of tax …

in income distribution. In order to do so, we are using a decomposition of changes in inequality measures over time …In Germany, two observations can be made over the past 20 years: First, income inequality has been constantly … increasing while, second, the average household size has been declining dramatically. The analysis of income distribution relies …

Income inequality can be measured at different levels of aggregation such as global, continental, international and … national levels. Here we consider income inequality at regions defined as equivalent of continental and sub-continental levels … income inequality and income distribution. Different determinant factors along with quantification of their impacts are …

Income inequality can be measured at different levels of aggregation such as global, continental, international and … national levels. Here we consider income inequality at the national level but the focus is on the within country regional … inequality. Regional inequality in income distribution in a selection of large countries measured by the size of their population …

This paper develops methods for decomposing changes in the income distribution using subgroup decompositions of the … income density function. Overall changes are related to changes in subgroup shares and changes in subgroup densities, where … multiple features of the income distribution (using graphs), rather than focusing on a specific feature such as dispersion, and …
