This paper calculates the concentration index for self-assessed health for a sample of Irish women. It then decomposes the index to investigate the sources of this inequality using both a health production function and reduced form approach. Using the health production function approach it finds...

Decomposition of a bivariate rank dependent index, such as the concentration index, is commonly used to explain … socioeconomic inequalities in health. We introduce a new decomposition technique based on the recentered influence function that …
