A unified structural equation modelling approach for the decomposition of rank-dependent indicators of socioeconomic inequality of health

Kessels, Roselinde; Erreygers, Guido - 2015

We present a unified structural equation modelling framework for the regression-based decomposition of rank-dependent indicators of socioeconomic inequality of health and compare it with a simple ordinary least squares regression. The structural equation modelling framework forms the basis for a...

Distributional analysis of the role of breadth and persistence of multiple deprivation in the health gradient measured by biomarkers

Sinha, Kompal; Davillas, Apostolos; Jones, Andrew M.; … - 2018

This paper analyses the relationship between health and socioeconomic status accounting for the role of breadth and persistence of multiple deprivation. Adopting a holistic approach to multidimensional deprivation, we construct measures of absolute and relative deprivation and use these measures...

Structural equation modeling for decomposing rank-dependent indicators of socioeconomic inequality of health : an empirical study

Kessels, Roselinde; Erreygers, Guido - In: Health economics review 6 (2016) 56, pp. 1-13

We present a flexible structural equation modeling (SEM) framework for the regression-based decomposition of rank-dependent indicators of socioeconomic inequality of health and compare it with simple ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. The SEM framework forms the basis for a proper use of...

A Class of Decomposable Poverty Measures with Public Transfers

Ray, Achintya - 2013

This paper proposes a class of decomposable poverty measures. It incorporates ideas of flexible minimum basic requirement norms, relative deprivation and the presence of public transfer systems. Public transfers oftentimes take the form of implicit transfers and are not usually reflected in the...

The Income Mobility in Rural China : Measurement and Decomposition

Jinqi, Jiang; Guang-Sheng, Zhang; Qiang, Liu - 2011

In this paper, we have used some mobility indexes to measure the rural income movements that happened in the time from 1988 to 2005, and decomposed it with the Fields&OK methods. From the analysis results, we found that income movements could reduce the short-term inequality in rural China, but...

Benchmarking

Chambers, Christopher P.; Miller, Alan D. - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 13 (2018) 2, pp. 485-504

We investigate a normative theory of incomplete preferences in the context of preliminary screening procedures. We … introduce a theory of ranking in the presence of objectively incomparable marginal contributions (apples and oranges). Our … theory recommends benchmarking, a method under which an individual is deemed more accomplished than another if and only if …

Equality of opportunity for well-being

Mahler, Daniel Gerszon; Ramos Morilla, Xavier - 2017

A growing literature has tried to measure the extent to which individuals have equal opportunities to acquire income. At the same time, policy makers have doubled down on efforts to go beyond income when measuring well- being. We attempt to bridge these two areas by measuring the extent to which...
