Axiomatic measurement of multidimensional well-being inequality: Some distributional questions

摘要: Abstract This paper focuses on two main issues which are crucial for improving the analysis of multidimensional inequality: effect both dispersion well-being attributes across individuals and interaction among measurement well-being. To approach these distributional questions we rely Atkinson, Kolm, Sen (hereafter AKS) methodology, defines a inequality index consistent with Pigou–Dalton principle. can be decomposed into univariate indexes belonging to class AKS indexes, residual term accounting dimensions. The empirical application investigates evolution in some EU countries between 1994 2001. Since depends values assigned parameters, test sensitivity trend degree aversion each dimension. Our results summarize indicators considered separately jointly, over time countries.
