Inequality Decomposition Analysis and the Gini Coefficient Revisited
The Economic Journal, 1993The Gini coefficient has long been thought unsuitable for inequality decomposition analysis because of a troublesome and little-understood residual term that occurs when subgroup income ranges overlap after the between-groups and within-groups contributions to inequality have been separated out.

A Formula for the Gini Coefficient and its Decomposition
Biometrical Journal, 1989AbstractThis paper is concerned with the Gini coefficient as a concentration measure of the distribution. The proposed formula for the computation of the Gini coefficient allows its decomposition according to different sub‐groups of the initial population, either exactly or approximately.

A Gini decomposition of the sources of inequality in property assessments
Journal of Property Tax Assessment & Administration, 2021A unique feature of Gini-based indexes of inequality is that they are decomposable. Decomposing inequality indexes means exploring the structure of inequality by disaggregating inequality into its relevant factors. This paper introduces into the assessment literature three methods to decompose the sources of inequality: by their distributive effects ...

The gini index, the dual decomposition of aggregation functions, and the consistent measurement of inequality [PDF]
International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2011 In several economic fields, such as those related to health, education or poverty, the individuals’ characteristics are measured by bounded variables. Accordingly, these characteristics may be indistinctly represented by achievements or shortfalls. A difficulty arises when inequality needs to be assessed.

Decomposition of Gini coefficients by class: a new approach
Applied Economics Letters, 1996When Gini coefficients are decomposed by class (e.g. occupation, sex, region, and so on, it is possible to examine how income inequality can be measured by its class components: intra-class, inter-class and overlapped. In the literature, there have been many studies on the decomposition methodology but most methods are either inflexible or too onerous ...

Applied Economics, 2012
This article proposes a unified technique of the Gini decomposition. The Gini multi-decomposition is a combination of the income source decomposition and the subgroup decomposition. This technique is applied on reference situation and simulated scenarios for partial trade liberalisation in Philippines, and is extended to different orderings to capture ...

GINI DP 4: Inequality Decompositions [PDF]
, 2010 We show how classic source-decomposition and subgroup-decomposition meth ods can be reconciled with regression methodology used in the recent liter ature. We also highlight some pitfalls that arise from uncritical use of the regression approach. The LIS database is used to compare the approaches using an analysis of the changing contributions to ...

Decomposition of the Gini Index by Sources of Income
International Advances in Economic Research, 2008The Gini concentration coefficient is considered to be the best synthetic inequality measure and is widely used in economic research. In this paper, we present its decomposition by factor components with an application to income distributions in Poland. Income inequality measures proposed by Gini, Zenga and Bonferroni are calculated for different socio-

Decomposition by subpopulations of Gini, Bonferroni and Zenga inequality measures
Statistica & Applicazioni, 2020This paper presents a common framework for the decompositions by subpopulations of Gini, Bonferroni and Zenga synthetic inequality measures. These three synthetic indexes are the weighted arithmetic means of the corresponding point measures and applying the Zenga two-step approach, decompositions based on means comparison are obtained.

A Decomposition of the Sen Index of Poverty Using the Analysis of Gini
Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, 2014AbstractThis paper provides a decomposition of the Sen index by subgroups using the analysis of Gini. This method decomposes the Sen index, isolating the contribution of the poverty gap, those of within and between inequality, as well as the contribution of overlapping.
