The Economics of Peace and Security Journal, 2020 There has been little research examining how income inequality may or may not contribute to the “grievance” aspect of conflict. For the most part, the measure used is the traditional Gini index, which is suitable to reflect vertical inequality (VI) rather than horizontal inequality (HI).

The Marginal Effects in Subgroup Decomposition of the Gini Index [PDF]
Journal of Official Statistics, 2016 Abstract In this article, we derive the elasticity of the Gini index with respect to changes in subgroup incomes for subgroups that are characterized by significant income separation. The resulting elasticity, which is structurally similar to that of the empirically popular Lerman and Yitzhaki’s (1985) elasticity for Gini income ...

Why Does Individualism Affect Economic Development: Is It Values, Policies, or Institutions?
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A substantial body of literature highlights the positive roles of individualism and economic freedom in fostering prosperity, and recent work links the two.

In this article we show that the Gini coefficient is simultaneously decomposable both by sources of income and by populations of income receivers for non-overlapping income distributions: the so-called first-best Gini multi-decomposition.
