Inference Tests for Gini-Based Tax Progressivity Indexes
TL;DR: In this article, distribution-free statistical inference procedures for changes in Lorenz and Gini-based indexes of tax progressivity are developed and applied and illustrated by applying them to Luxembourg Income Study microdata for Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States before and after periods of tax reform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical issues in lifetime poverty measurement
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze some specific proposals that take the so-called spells approach and consider how they differ in the manner in which they address issues of lifetime poverty, most notably the measurement of chronic poverty.
Book ChapterDOI
Measuring inequality with ordinal data: a note
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of stochastic dominance to ordinal data such as self-reported health status was investigated and it was shown that for ordinal distributions, stochastically dominant has limited applicability in ranking social welfare, while it has no applicability for ranking inequality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing lorenz curves with non-simple random samples
TL;DR: In this paper, the covariance structures of the Lorenz and generalized Lorenz ordinates for stratified, cluster and multistage samples were derived using the Bahadur representation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unit-consistent poverty indices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize unit-consistent poverty indices for different value judgements about poverty measurement in the semi-individualistic framework and the Dalton-Hagenaars framework.
