On the measurement of inequality for ordinal data
Atkinson’s Theorem (Atkinson, 1970) is a classic result in inequality measurement. It establishes Lorenz dominance as a useful criterion for judging whether one distribution is more unequal than another, because if distribution A Lorenz dominates distribution B, then all indices in a broad class of measures must agree that A is less unequal than B. Yet recent research shows that standard inequa...
متن کاملModeling Paired Ordinal Response Data
About 25 years ago, McCullagh proposed a method for modeling univariate ordinal responses. After publishing this paper, other statisticians gradually extended his method, such that we are now able to use more complicated but efficient methods to analyze correlated multivariate ordinal data, and model the relationship between these responses and host of covariates. In this paper, we aim to...
متن کاملInequality decomposition by population subgroups for ordinal data.
We present a class of decomposable inequality indices for ordinal data (e.g. self-reported health survey). It is characterized by well-known inequality axioms (e.g. scale invariance) and a decomposability axiom which states that an index can be represented as a function of inequality values in subgroups and subgroup sizes. The only decomposable indices are strictly monotonic transformations of ...
متن کاملRobust Inequality Comparisons
Robust Inequality Comparisons This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such situations Aaberge (2009) introduced two alternative sequences of nested dominance criteria for Lorenz curves wh...
متن کاملInequality and Social Comparisons
I present a model in which people develop certain traits (or skills) and also assign worth to those traits. The worth a person assigns to different traits are the person’s values. These values can be used to evaluate one’s own traits and the traits of others. I show that when people are incentivized to place more value on skills for which they are comparatively advantaged, people with lower opp...
