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 …

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...

Ireland survey, this paper calculates this index for low birthweight arising from preterm and intrauterine …-growth-retardation. It also carries out a decomposition of this index for the different sources of low birthweight and finds that income … conditions appear to be more relevant for IUGR. The application of the standard Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition also indicates that …
