This paper adopts a counterfactual decomposition analysis to analyse cross-country differences in the size of household … wealth and levels of household wealth inequality. The findings of the paper suggest that the biggest share of cross …

This paper suggests overcoming some limitations of traditional inequality decomposition methods by developing a … combination of Burtless (1999) and DiNardo et al. (1996), two different microsimulation methods for decomposing inequality. By … results and allows one to easily perform tests on results. An application to Italian household inequality is provided to …

This paper investigates the relationship between growth and inequality from a demographic point of view. In an extended … inequality is at first positive and then may be negative in the process of population aging. The results are consistent with the …

This paper employs a decomposition analysis of inequality by income source to understand and explain particular aspects … of income inequality in Greece. The results suggest that entrepreneurial income is the most significant contributor to … overall inequality in Greece. It is also shown that there is a weak redistributive impact of taxes and social security …

inequality between these sub groups or to inequality within them is investigated, employing a decomposition analysis by … income inequality in Greece. This analysis is quite revealing for understanding and explaining income idfferences among … certain population subgroups with apparent policy implications. The degree to which overall inequality is attributable to …

will tend to be higher in countries with higher inequality and with greater pro-rich bias in the political system …. Conversely, the use of income tax will be higher in countries with lower inequality and less pro-rich bias. The model also … predicts that although inequality and political bias will have an impact on the composition of revenue, it will have no effect …
