A new inequality-sensitive multidimensional deprivation index (MDI) for dichotomous variables

Espinoza-Delgado, José; Silber, Jacques - 2021

In this paper, we propose to use the so-called Sen-Shorrocks poverty index (Shorrocks, 1995) to measure …, the most common case in the literature, and introduce a rank-dependent multidimensional poverty index for multiple binary … indicators using a counting approach. The resulting multidimensional deprivation index, or MDI for short, also has a nice …

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...
