An integrated approach for top-corrected ginis
Bartels, Charlotte; Metzing, Maria - 2017
Household survey data provide a rich information set on income, household context and demographic variables, but tend to under report incomes at the very top of the distribution. Administrative data like tax records offer more precise information on top incomes, but at the expense of household...

Gini's 'Transvariazione' and the Measurement of Distance between Distributions
Deutsch, Joseph; Silber, Jaques Gabriel - 2014
This paper notes that Gini's concept of "Transvariazione" corresponds to the idea of overlapping of distributions. It shows that this concept is implicit in some measures of income inequality such as the Pietra and Gini Index and is at the basis of various measures of distance between...

Expansion of the public sector and redistributive policies may reduce income inequality, but formal tests suffer from the problem of endogeneity of government size with respect to the distribution of income. Studying 30 European countries over the period 2004-2015, we apply instrumental variable...
