Vertical redistribution and horizontal inequity

Working Paper Series, 1995
Inequality of post-tax income among pre-tax equals is evaluated and aggregated to form a global index of horizontal inequity in the income tax. The vertical action of the tax is captured by its inequality effect on average between groups of pre-tax equals. Putting the two together, horizontal inequity measures loss of vertical performance.

Testing for horizontal inequity econometrically

Working Paper Series, 1997
Methods of testing econometrically for horizontal inequity (HI) induced by tax systems are examined. Both socially homogeneous and heterogeneous income-receiving populations are analysed. The favoured econometric methods are applied to cross-section data in order to determine the magnitude and statistical significance of HI in the UK.

An alternative approach to the measurement of horizontal inequality is developed. This measure of inequality is based on an explicit social welfare function which is formulated so as to be consistent with the basic principles of social choice.

Horizontal Mergers and Wage Inequality

Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics, 2018
This paper incorporates horizontal mergers into the general-equilibrium framework embedded with game theory and separately analyzes how horizontal mergers in the skilled sector and the unskilled sector influence the skilled-unskilled wage inequality. In an economy with full employment, a horizontal merger in the skilled sector will certainly reduce the

Horizontal Inequity in Health Care Utilization in Japan

Health Care Management Science, 2003
International comparisons of horizontal inequity in health has recently become one of the most pertinent issues in health economics. However, no previous studies have been undertaken on Japan. This omission is rectified in this paper. Moreover, we consider the dynamics of horizontal inequity in health over six years from 1992 to 1998.
