In modern society the income distribution is one of the major problems. Usually, it is considered that a severe polarisation in matter of income per capita could have a major negative impact on the general process of economic development. This study is focussing on estimating dynamics of some...

Government education spending is expected to improve the well-being of beneficiaries and enhance their capability to earn income in the future. In this sense, directing education expenditures to the poor holds a promise for breaking the inter-generational transmission of poverty. Given this...

Benefit incidence analysis (BIA) is a tool used to assess how tax policy or government subsidy affects the distribution of welfare in the population. In other words, it evaluates the distribution of government subsidies among different groups in the population, in particular, among different...

The Gini coefficient is a well-known measure of income inequality. It corresponds to the percentage of area below the 45<InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$^\circ $$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> line that is between the 45<InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$^\circ $$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> line and the Lorenz curve on a graph of cumulative income versus cumulative population. In this paper, new...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

In this paper we estimate income distributions, Lorenz curves and the related Gini index using a Bayesian nonparametric approach based on Polya tree priors. In particular, we propose an alternative approach for dealing with contaminated observations and extreme income values: avoiding the common...
