Decomposing the Bonferroni Inequality Index by Subgroups: Shapley Value and Balance of Inequality

Policy Impacts on Inequality Decomposition of Income Inequality by Subgroups

Decomposing World Education Inequality

We decompose global inequality in educational achievement into withinand betweencountry components. We find that the former is significantly larger. This is different than results for international income inequality, but similar to results for international health inequality.

Decomposing world health inequality.

This study explores global inequality in health status and decomposes it into within- and between-country inequality. We rely on standardized height as our health indicator since it avoids the measurement pitfalls of more traditional measures of health such as morbidity, mortality, and life expectancy. It also avoids measurement problems associated with using monetary variables such as income o...

Two Types of Inequality: Inequality Between Persons and Inequality Between Subgroups

The Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in Bonn is a local and virtual international research center and a place of communication between science, politics and business. IZA is an ind...

Balance and the Extended, Generalized Shapley Value

We characterize the Extended, Generalized Shapley Value of McQuillin [6] using an ‘efficiency’ condition and two ‘balance’ conditions. One feature of this charaterization is that the conditions only have to apply for a single game.
