The Normative Approach to the Measurement of Multidimensional Inequality

نویسنده

  • John A. Weymark
چکیده

This article provides an introduction to the normative approach to inequality measurement. Multivariate generalizations of the procedures used to construct univariate inequality indices from social evaluation orderings are described. Axiomatizations of multivariate Atkinson, Kolm– Pollak, and generalized Gini indices are discussed. Maasoumi’s [Econometrica (1986)] two-stage procedure for constructing a multivariate inequality index is critically examined. A dominance criterion proposed by Tsui [Social Choice and Welfare (1999)] that takes account of the correlation between the distribution of attributes is also considered.

There has been much reflection on the need for a new understanding of global health and the urgency of a paradigm shift to address global health issues. A crucial question is whether this is still possible in current modes of global governance based on capitalist values. Four reflections are provided. (1) Ecological–centered values must become central in any future global health framework. (2) ...

An extended multidimensional Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality with a general homogeneous kernel

In this paper, by the use of the weight coefficients, the transfer formula and the technique of real analysis, an extended multidimensional Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality with a general homogeneous kernel and a best possible constant factor is given. Moreover, the equivalent forms, the operator expressions and a few examples are considered.

Health Promotion in an Age of Normative Equity and Rampant Inequality

The world was different when the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion was released 30 years ago. Concerns over the environment and what we now call the ‘social determinants of health’ were prominent in 1986. But the acceleration of ecological crises and economic inequalities since then, in a more complex and multi-polar world, pose dramatically new challenges for those committed to the original ...
