García-Fernándeza, Rosa María; Gottlieb, Daniel; … - 2012
In this paper we apply two statistical models to the measurement of polarization to Israeli income data over the past decade in order to empirically detect income classes as sub-populations of incomes concentrated around an optimal number of poles. The statistical models compared are a...

Polarization, growth and social policy in the case of Israel, 1997-2008
García-Fernández, Rosa María; Gottlieb, Daniel; … - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 7 (2013) 2013-15, pp. 1-40

Personal Gini coefficients
Davies, James B. - 2021
The Gini coefficient is based on the sum of pairwise income differences, which can be decomposed into separate sums for individuals. Differences vis-à-vis poorer people represent an individual's advantage, while those with respect to richer people constitute deprivation. Weighting deprivation...

Boats and tides and "Trickle Down" theories: What economists presume about wellbeing when they employ stochastic process theory in modeling behavior
Anderson, Gordon - 2012
Aphorisms that "Rising tides raise all boats" or that material advances of the rich eventually "Trickle Down" to the poor are really maxims regarding the nature of stochastic processes that underlay the income/wellbeing paths of groups of individuals. This paper looks at the implications for the...

Solow meets Marx: Economic growth and the emergence of social class
Modalsli, Jørgen Heibø - 2011
This paper reconciles neoclassical models of economic growth (Solow) with the formation of social classes during economic transition (Marx). An environment with missing capital markets and no labor divisibility is shown to lead to a steady state with no aggregate inefficiencies, but a very...

Equivalence scales reconsidered: an empirical investigation
Bönke, Timm; Schröder, Carsten - 2007
Income-expenditure surveys typically provide incomes on the household level. As households can differ in size and needs, a reliable assessment of inequality in living standards, therefore, necessitates the conversion of the original heterogeneous into an artificial quasi-homogeneous population....
