The tail that wags: differences in effective right tail coverage and estimates of wealth inequality
Journal of Economic Inequality - Tập 17 - Trang 443-459 - 2019
This paper focuses on the sensitivity of survey-based estimates of wealth inequality to the quality of the measurement of the upper tail of the distribution. Using data from the 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), it develops a series of illustrative examples to highlight some of the problems in making comparisons of wealth inequality measures when there are specific defects in the measurement......
Extending multidimensional poverty identification: from additive weights to minimal bundles
Journal of Economic Inequality - Tập 20 - Trang 421-438 - 2021
In the popular class of multidimensional poverty measures introduced by Alkire and Foster (2011), a threshold switching function is used to identify who is multidimensionally poor. This paper shows that the weights and cut-off employed in this procedure are generally not unique and that such functions implicitly assume all groups of deprivation indicators of some fixed size are perfect substitutes......
Sustainable Development Goals and the Study of Economic Inequality
Journal of Economic Inequality - Tập 19 - Trang 3-11 - 2020
This paper is an introduction to a special issue of the Journal of Economic Inequality which contains a selection of articles published in the Journal which bring economic perspectives and methods to bear on dimensions of inequality highlighted in the Sustainable Development Goals. The papers show that the study of economic inequality has much to contribute to the global policy discourse which is ......

More on the measurement of inequality
Journal of Economic Inequality - Tập 6 - Trang 277-283 - 2008
The article, written in 1973, examines what comparisons of income distributions can be made when Lorenz curves cross, employing the concept of third-order stochastic dominance.
Identification-robust methods for comparing inequality with an application to regional disparities
Journal of Economic Inequality - - Trang 1-20 - 2024
We propose Fieller-type methods for inference on generalized entropy inequality indices in the context of the two-sample problem which covers testing the statistical significance of the difference in indices, and the construction of a confidence set for this difference. In addition to irregularities arising from thick distributional tails, standard inference procedures are prone to identification ......
The Use of Distributional National Accounts in Better Capturing the Top Tail of the Distribution
Journal of Economic Inequality - Tập 20 - Trang 245-254 - 2022
This article explains how the compilation of distributional results in line with national accounts’ totals may assist in overcoming some of the challenges faced by micro data statistics in measuring inequality, including capturing the top tail. As national accounts rely on a harmonised system of concepts and definitions in which multiple data sources are brought together in order to arrive at comp......
Sibling correlation in risk attitudes: evidence from Burkina Faso
Journal of Economic Inequality - Tập 19 - Trang 45-72 - 2020
This study uses sibling correlation to provide novel descriptive evidence of parental and household characteristics on three different risk domains collected in a nationally representative survey from Burkina Faso. The sibling correlations are between 0.51 and 0.83. The correlations are higher in the general risk domain compared to risk taking in financial matters and traffic. Moreover, the siblin......
