Income redistribution going awry : the reversal power of the concern for relative deprivation
Sorger, Gerhard; Stark, Oded - 2012
We demonstrate that a rank-preserving transfer from a richer individual to a poorer individual can exacerbate income inequality (when inequality is measured by the Gini coefficient). This happens when individuals' preferences depend negatively not only on work time (effort) but also on low...

Luck, choice and responsibility : an experimental study of fairness views
Möllerström, Johanna; Reme, Bjørn-Atle; Sørensen, … - 2014
We conduct a laboratory experiment where third-party spectators can redistribute resources between two agents, thereby offsetting the consequences of controllable and uncontrollable luck. Some spectators go to the limits and equalize all or no inequalities, but many follow an interior allocation...

Inequality indices as tests of fairness
Kanbur, Ravi; Snell, Andy - 2017
Standard income inequality indices can be interpreted as a measure of welfare loss entailed in departures from equality of outcomes, for egalitarian social welfare functions defined on the distribution of outcomes. But such a welfare interpretation has been criticized for a long time on the...

Geloso, Vincent; Magness, Phillip - 2023
We present a new series for top income concentrations in the United States, using a consistent data construction methodology for the entire range of available data. This is meant to connect efforts that have separately considered pre-1960 and post-1960 inequality measures. Our series improves...
