Income inequality in rural China: Regression-based decomposition using household data

Wan, Guanghua; Zhou, Zhangyue - 2004

A considerable literature exists on the measurement of income inequality in China and its increasing trend. Much less is known, however, about the driving forces of this trend and their quantitative contributions. Conventional decompositions, by factor components or by population subgroups, only...

Poverty, pro-poor growth and mobility

Zhang, Yin; Wan, Guanghua - 2006

This paper proposes a framework for incorporating longitudinal distributional changes into poverty decomposition. It is shown that changes in the Sen-Shorrocks-Thon index over time can be decomposed into two components—one component reflects the progressivity of income growth among the...
