Given … weights represents the marginal social value of the individuals in the society, our approach selects a particular inequality …

we suggest that bidimensional social welfare perspectives may contribute very well to policy implications intending to … have a better household welfare criterion. Second, using a developed version of Gini bidimensional decomposition, we find … the contribution of rural and urban areas to inequality. Our decomposition method is an improved version of Mussard (2004 …

The hypothesis is that Pareto and Kaldor-Hicks Efficiency have an aspect of sustainability in relation to inequality …. The analysis finds efficient situations reached increasing inequality as diminishing in the long term effective demand in … welfare economics, rather than being quite contrasting objectives, are as such related and mutually necessary. As such …

We identify a positive interaction of perceived social mobility that mitigates its … overall impact of income inequality that is SWB lowering, while for low social mobility the effect of inequality is positive …. These interactions hold stronger for pre-transfer than post-transfer income inequality. Actual social mobility appears to be …
