The article provides an empirical study of the redistributive effects of agricultural policy in Tuscany which finds that the provision of support increased absolute income inequality within the agricultural community because the distribution of transfers was both vertically and horizontally...

This paper considers the characterisation and measurement of income-related health inequality using longitudinal data. The paper elucidates the nature of the Jones and Lopez Nicholas (2004) index of “health-related income mobility” and explains the negative values of the index that have been...

This study investigated the East Asia's automobile production network and its evolution from 1990 to 2010. A network analysis identified the major automobile trade links for parts and components (P%C) and final automobiles (FG), and changes in roles, trading partners and network patterns for the...

Regression-based decomposition procedures are used to both standardise the concentration index and to determine the contribution of inequalities in the individual health determinants to the overall value of the index. The main contribution of this paper is to develop analogous procedures to...

This paper develops an accounting framework to consider the effect of deaths on the longitudinal analysis of income-related health inequalities. Ignoring deaths or using inverse probability weights to re-weight the sample for mortality-related attrition can produce misleading results....

This paper proposes a new class of stratification indices that measure interdistributional inequality between multiple groups. The class is based on a conceptualisation of stratification as a process that results in a hierarchical ordering of groups and therefore seeks to capture not only the...

The paper presents a methodology that can be used to analyze the distributional implications of commodity-based support programs which make differential provisions according to enterprise size. The approach is illustrated by means of empirical analysis of the MacSharry proposal for the...
