approach to inequality measurement when defining pro-poor growth. With a relative approach to pro-poor growth it is assumed … that inequality does not to vary when all incomes are multiplied by a constant whereas, with an absolute approach to pro …-poor growth, inequality is supposed not to vary when an equal sum is added to all incomes. The empirical illustration covers the …

In this paper, the concept of Income Satisfaction Inequality is operationalized on the basis of individual responses to … analogue of the objective income concept and includes objective income inequality as a special case. The paper introduces a … method to decompose Income Satisfaction Inequality according to the contributions from variables such as income, education …

The paper studies the effects of international remittances on poverty and inequality in Ethiopia using an urban … household survey from 2004. In order to identify the effects of remittances on poverty and inequality, counterfactual … consumption in the hypothetical case of no remittance is estimated in a selection corrected estimation framework.

We provide an analytical framework within which changes in income inequality over time are related to the pattern of … income inequality grew substantially), and also for income growth to have been pro-poor. Income growth was also pro-poor in … Western Germany, more so than in the USA, and inequality did not rise as much. …

Two conversion schemes may be employed for assessing income inequality from household equivalent incomes: to weight … household units by size or by needs. Using data from the Luxembourg Income Study, we show the sensitivity of country inequality … rankings to conversion schemes and explain the finding by means of inequality decomposition.
