    • Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes: a microeconometric simulation analysis 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. Unlike ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
