Measures of Distributional Change: An Axiomatic Approach
针对收入流动性和水平不公平等分布变化现象,提出一套公理系统来度量从旧分布到新分布的转变,并推导出相应的度量类别。
Income mobility and horizontal inequity are two common examples of the phenomenon of "distributional change": the transformation of an "old" distribution vector into a "new" distribution vector. An attempt is made to supplement the sundry ad hoc methods of measuring this change with a system of axioms that might command support as general principles of measurement. Variants on the axiom system are examined and the associated class of measures is derived.
