, while also presenting a decrease in inequality. Using an intertemporal decomposition approach, we find evidence that changes … in demographic and labor market characteristics can explain only a small portion of the observed inequality decline …. Instead, the results indicate that the decline in wage inequality was driven by the faster wage growth of usually low …

The paper characterizes the class of weakly decomposable (aggregable) inequality measures which satisfy a new (weak …) decomposition (and agregation) property. These measures can be decomposed into the sum of the usual within-group and a between …-group term which is based on the inequality between all pairs of individuals belonging to the groups involved. The measures …

earnings inequality increased during 1983-2004, was largely stable during 2004-11, and decreased during 2011-17. We explore … whether decline in routine jobs and change in demand for skills has shaped evolution of earnings inequality in India. We rule … out earnings polarization as an explanation for rising earnings inequality during 1983-2004, and then use Shapley and …

income and estimates of income inequality over this high-growth period. We focus on two questions: How have benefits from … growth been distributed; and do changes in the structure of the economy map into changes in inequality? We explore dimensions … in which inequality may vary, notably urban versus rural, and by ethnic status. We also decompose inequality by income …

Despite the relevance of geographical disparities in India, earnings inequality occurs mostly within states, but with a … inequality gaps between most populous states and India. Our results point to substantial compositional effects associated with …

This paper is an application of a new Shapley income decomposition methodology, in which we isolate two subjective … factors in income differences - race and gender - that contribute to income inequality within the population of blacks and … whites in the United States over the period 2005-2017. We show that the purely racial contribution to income inequality as …
