We investigate the properties of a family of social evaluation functions and inequality indices which merge the …)) indices. Income inequality aversion is captured by decreasing marginal utilities, and aversion to rank inequality is captured … by rank-dependent ethical weights, thus providing an ethically-flexible dual basis for the assessment of inequality and …

This note provides simple tests for first-order bi-polarization orderings of distributions of living standards. In doing so, the paper also offers an ethical basis and an interpretation for the common use of some simple measures of distances from the median. Illustrations using Luxembourg Income...

Assessing whether distributional changes are "pro-poor" has become increasingly widespread in academic and policy circles. Starting from relatively general ethical axioms, this paper proposes simple graphical methods to test whether distributional changes are indeed pro-poor. Pro-poor standards...
