Individual poverty measurement using a fuzzy intrahousehold approach
Betti, Gianni; Mangiavacchi, Lucia; Piccoli, Luca - 2017
This work studies the impact of accounting for intrahousehold inequality in the distribution of resources for the measurement of poverty. For the estimation of intrahousehold distribution of resources the study relies on collective Engel curves. For the poverty analysis, we propose a fuzzy...

Should income inequality be praised? : multiple public goods provision, income distribution and social welfare
Itaya, Jun-ichi; Mizushima, Atsue - 2016
We investigate how income inequality affects social welfare in a model of voluntary contributions to multiple pure public goods. Itaya, de Meza, and Myles (1997) show that the maximization of social welfare precludes income equality in a single pure public good model. In contrast, we show that...

Tax progressivity and top incomes : evidence from tax reforms
Rubolino, Enrico; Waldenström, Daniel - 2017
We study the link between tax progressivity and top income shares. Using variation from large-scale Western tax reforms in the 1980s and 1990s and the novel synthetic control method, we find large and lasting boosting impacts on top income shares from the progressivity reductions. Effects are...
