SpletMore importantly, much of our analysis is in terms of inequality ‘shares’ – the share of total inequality explained by different income sources, or by different household characteristics – measures that are valid for any inequality measure that is symmetric, continuous and equal to zero iff all incomes are equal (Shorrocks, 1982). Spletby Shorrocks (1982), which is the unique one to be invariant to the choice of inequality measure. In fact, Shorrocks (1982) showed that the unique decom-position rule, invariant to the inequality index used, is: sk:= cov(yk;y) var(y) (6) where y k= fy i ;i = 1;:::ng.

Splet08. dec. 2024 · While the choice of decomposition rule is independent of inequality measure, Shorrocks ( 1982) provides a convincing argument for using this particular rule which became a standard in the literature. Provided that there are many income sources, it is important to use an index that can handle the regular incidence of zero values.
