1986-2004. To this end, a decomposition of the Theil´s second measure of inequality is used. The analysis carried out …

I discuss how poverty decomposition methods relate to integral approximation, which ultimately is the foundation of … every decomposition of the temporal change of a quantity into key drivers. This offers a common framework for the different … decomposition methods used in the literature, clarifies their often somewhat unclear theoretical underpinning and identifies the …

Using harmonized wealth data and a novel decomposition approach, we show that cohort effects exist in the income …

multiplicative Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition technique is introduced and applied in an analysis of energy use …

action spaces are assumed finite. By making use of the concept of maximal communicating classes, the following decomposition … independently. It is shown that the proposed decomposition algorithm is exact in the sense that the solution obtained from the … decomposition procedure gives the best stationary strategies for the original stochastic game.
