The Evolution of World Inequality in Well-being
In this paper we investigate the evolution of the inequality in well-being across di¤erent countries between 1975 and 2000. We treat well-being as a multidimensional concept focusing on three important dimensions of life: standard of living, health and education. Inequality in the three dimensions shows a di¤erent trend between 1975 and 2000. We propose a exible measure of well-being and use t...

Diminishing marginal well-being from income suggests that redistributing income from the rich to the poor will raise average levels of well-being within a society. This utilitarian logic suggests that— conditional on average income—countries with greater income inequality will experience lower levels of average well-being. Yet existing research has failed to find clear evidence that inequality ...
متن کاملTalents, Preferences and Inequality of Well-Being∗
The distribution of gross income net of taxes and transfers – or equivalently consumption – is generally considered a reasonable approximation of the distribution of well-being in the society. One typically observes differing trends in the distribution of gross incomes across countries or within the same country over time. Where do these inequalities originate from? Considering a simple model w...
متن کاملModeling multidimensional inequality in well-being: the case of Spain
The aim of this paper is to assess the evolution of multidimensional inequality in well-being using Lorenz curves. Closed expressions for the bivariate Lorenz curve defined by Arnold (1983) are given. We assume a relevant type of models based on the class of distributions with given marginals described by Sarmanov and Lee (Lee, 1996; Sarmanov, 1966). This specification of the bivariate Lorenz c...
