Measuring inequality of well-being with a correlation-sensitive multidimensional Gini index [PDF]

Wage Compression is not Enough: Working Hours and Earnings Inequality in Korea, 2000–2023
Review of Income and Wealth, Volume 72, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT This study examines how working hours shaped earnings inequality in Korea during 2000–2023 using a mean log deviation decomposition, which separates earnings inequality into wage dispersion, hours dispersion, and wage—hours covariance. Hours' contribution rose from 12% to 30%, while the negative wage—hours covariance—which allowed low‐wage ...

Multilateral Index Approaches in the Presence of Product‐Specific Price Trends and Data Gaps
Review of Income and Wealth, Volume 72, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT The prices of some products respond more strongly to changes in the general price level than others. This study explains why such product‐specific price level elasticities lead to biased time‐product‐dummy (TPD) estimates of price levels. Other popular multilateral index approaches such as the Gini‐Éltető‐Köves‐Szulc (GEKS) and Geary‐Khamis ...
