The median as watershed
Aaberge, Rolf; Atkinson, A B - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2013
This paper is concerned with concepts – poverty, inequality, affluence, and polarization – that are typically treated … is on “well-off” countries where poverty is a minority, rather than a majority, phenomenon. At the other end of the scale … measurement of “affluence” can proceed along similar lines to the measurement of poverty. The threshold may be set, relatively, as …

A Counting Approach for Measuring Multidimensional Deprivation
Aaberge, Rolf; Peluso, Eugenio - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012
This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking and quantifying the extent of deprivation exhibited by multidimensional distributions, where the multiple attributes in which an individual can be deprived are represented by dichotomized variables. To this end we first aggregate deprivation...

Social evaluation of deprivation count distributions
Aaberge, Rolf; Brandolini, Andrea - Society for the Study of Economic Inequality - ECINEQ - 2014
This paper is concerned with the measurement of the extent of deprivation when the available information is given by a set of dichotomous variables, and the data are summarised by the count distribution, i.e. the distribution of the number of dimensions in which an individual suffers from...

Optimal Taxation According to Equality of Opportunity: a Microeconometric Simulation Analysis
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo; Roemer, John E. - International Centre for Economic Research (ICER) - 2003
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework for analysing optimal income taxation. EOp optimal tax rules seek to equalise income differentials arising from factors beyond the control of the individual....

Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes: A microeconometric simulation analysis
Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo - Society for the Study of Economic Inequality - ECINEQ - 2010
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. Unlike the pure EOp criterion of Roemer (1998) the extended EOp criterion allows...
