The problem … is that this Gini index does not offer any information on the determinants of the inequalities. For this purpose, Mussard … [2004] introduced the bidimensional decomposition of the Gini ratio, where both sub-groups and income sources are jointly …

Gini and entropy are the most use measures to gauge income inequalities. We show that each measure yields different … subgroup decomposition techniques into within-group inequalities and between-group inequalities. Then, we show that the Gini …
