This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing debate on global income inequality. It shows that global income inequality is a valuable analytical concept that significantly enhances our understanding of global economic dynamics. By addressing key methodological issues in the...

We examine the performance of asymptotic inference as well as bootstrap tests for the Alphabeta and Kobus-Mi±o´s family of inequality indices for ordered response data. We use Monte Carlo experiments to compare the empirical size and statistical power of asymptotic inference and the...

Annual, before-tax income is the most common official statistic used to measure economic well-being and therefore underlies the design of most anti-poverty programs or other redistributive economic policies. Notwithstanding, extended income measures as well as consumption based measures are...

We examine the performance of asymptotic inference as well as bootstrap tests for the Alphabeta and Kobus-Miłoś family of inequality indices for ordered response data. We use Monte Carlo experiments to compare the empirical size and statistical power of asymptotic inference and the Studentized...

After intensive research, the relationship between (mean) growth and (relative) inequality is unresolved, and it will be unresolved because by definition relative inequality is mean independent. In this paper we review some recent empirical literature about the inequality and growth relationship...
