We show how classic source-decomposition and subgroup-decomposition methods can be reconciled with regression … approach. The LIS database is used to compare the approaches using an analysis of the changing contributions to inequality in …

In this paper, I quantify the contribution of a subpopulation to inequality. This is defined as the sum of the … contributions of its members, with these contributions computed as the impact on inequality of a small increase in the population … mass at each point of the distribution (using the Recentered Influence Function). The decomposition is shown to verify …

While inequality of opportunity (IOp) in earnings is well studied, the literature on IOp in individual net wealth is … and for a detailed decomposition of net wealth inequality into a variety of circumstances; among them childhood background …, intergenerational transfers, and regional characteristics. The ratio of inequality of opportunity to total inequality is stable from …

In this paper, we address this shortcoming by developing a new …

Our goal is to analyse the inequality aspects of Human Development Index and to propose a new aggregation function that … can adjust it by considering inequality penalisation. We take into account inequality across dimensions and across … individuals and three laws of inequality penalisation: decreasing, constant and increasing. At the beginning, we describe the …
