obtain a novel decomposition of changes in inequality measures as a set of equalising and disequalising factors, which sheds …Much of the literature on inequality, both that on the theoretical features of inequality measurement and that on the … discussion of the results of empirical analysis, has preferred to focus on income inequality. This paper looks into the analysis …

In this paper, we investigate the long-term trend of consumption inequality in Mozambique. We show that an imbalanced … growth path disproportionally benefited the better-off and caused increasing inequality, especially in more recent years …, curbing the necessary reduction in poverty. Using a regression decomposition technique, our results suggest that this trend …

I discuss a new approach which decomposes inequality into the contributions of population groups by income sources. I … element indicating the marginal change in the inequality contribution of a group (as measured by the recentered influence … function) when an income source is added and with all contributions adding up to overall inequality. The approach can be used …

The Great Recession and the widespread adoption of fiscal austerity policies have heightened concern about inequality …., 2017), the overall change in income inequality is decomposed into parts attributable to the change in market income … inequality, changes in discretionary tax-benefit policy and automatic stabilisation effects. We implement this approach using the …

In this paper, I quantify the contribution of a subpopulation to inequality. This is defined as the sum of the … contributions of its members, with these contributions computed as the impact on inequality of a small increase in the population … mass at each point of the distribution (using the Recentered Influence Function). The decomposition is shown to verify …

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of decomposition methods that have been developed since the seminal work … the decomposition, as well as various estimation methods proposed in the literature. We also illustrate how these methods …
