    • Axiomatic characterization of the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve orderings 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)
      This paper is concerned with distributions of income and the ordering of related Lorenz curves. By introducing appropriate preference relations on the set of Lorenz curves, two alternative axiomatic characterizations of ...

    • Baby booming inequality? Demographic change and earnings inequality in Norway, 1967–2000 

      Almås, Ingvild; Havnes, Tarjei; Mogstad, Magne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      In this paper, we demonstrate how age-adjusted inequality measures can be used to evaluate whether changes in inequality over time are due to changes in the age-structure. To this end, we use administrative data on earnings ...

    • Decomposing Global Inequality 

      Modalsli, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-25)
      This paper provides an intuitive additive decomposition of the global income Gini coefficient with respect to differences within and between countries. In 2005, nearly half the total global income inequality is due to ...

    • Decomposition of rank-dependent measures of inequality by subgroups 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Bjerve, Steinar; Doksum, Kjell (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)
      Summary - The purpose of additive subgroup decomposition is to study the relationship between overall inequality and inequality within and between population subgroups defined by variables like gender, age, education and ...

    • Gini’s nuclear family 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)
      The purpose of this paper is to justify the use of the Gini coefficient and two close relatives for summarizing the basic information of inequality in distributions of income. To this end we employ a specific transformation ...

    • Inequality in current and lifetime income 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-14)
      To gauge inequality in living standards, the distribution of lifetime income is likely to be more relevant than the distribution of current income. Yet, empirical studies of income inequality are typically based on ...

    • Ranking intersecting Lorenz curves 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)
      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 ...

    • Robust inequality comparisons 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      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 ...

    • The sensitivity of income inequality to choice of equivalence scales 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Melby, Ingrid (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1998)
      To account for the fact that a household's needs depend on its size and composition most studies on income inequality adjust the observed household incomes by equivalence scales. However, since the rationale for choosing ...
