In this work we analyze contributions from income components to Zenga’s point and synthetic inequality measures in the distribution of household income in EU countries. The contributions are computed according to a decomposition rule recently proposed in [3]. The empirical results obtained in this work confirm the usefulness of this approach in understanding the sources of inequality in the distribution of household income.

Abstract

In this work we analyze contributions from income components to Zenga’s point and synthetic inequality measures in the distribution of household income in EU countries. The contributions are computed according to a decomposition rule recently proposed in [3]. The empirical results obtained in this work confirm the usefulness of this approach in understanding the sources of inequality in the distribution of household income.
