A modified Kakwani measure for health inequality
We propose simple modifications for the Kakwani tax progressivity measure that make it suitable for evaluating access inequality for medical services. Our modification is to measure inequality using the ratio of the concentration index to the Gini coefficient instead of the difference between them. We also propose a measure using the Gini coefficient or concentration index of consumption expend...

نامساوی کوشی-شوارتز در حالت کلاسیک در فضای اندازه فازی برقرار نمی باشد اما با اعمال شرط هایی در مسئله مانند یکنوا بودن توابع و قرار گرفتن در بازه صفر ویک می توان دو نوع نامساوی کوشی-شوارتز را در فضای اندازه فازی اثبات نمود.
15 صفحه اولOn the Choice of Health Inequality Measure for the Longitudinal Analysis of Income-related Health Inequalities
Changes in rank-dependent income-related health inequality measures over time may usefully be decomposed into contributions due to changes in health outcomes and changes in individuals' positions in the income distribution. This paper establishes the normative implications of this type of decomposition by embedding it within a broader analysis of changes in the 'health achievement' index. We fu...
متن کاملWhy Measure Inequality?
A large body of literature is devoted to the measurement of income inequality, yet little attention is given to the question, Why measure inequality? However, the reasons for measurement bear importantly on whether and how measurement should be done. Upon examination, normative measures are found to be of questionable value. Descriptive measures, by contrast, may be useful, but the appropriate ...
متن کاملAn inequality measure for stochastic allocations
Few papers in the literature on inequality measurement deal with uncertainty. None, that we know of, provide explicit guidance on how to account for the possibility that a cohort’s rank may not be fixed (e.g., socioeconomic mobility). We present a set of axioms implying such a class of inequality measures under uncertainty that is a one-parameter extension of the Generalized Gini-mean. In parti...
