Inequality Decomposition by Factor Components
将个人或家庭收入分解为工资、投资收入、转移支付等不同要素成分,并提出分解的基本原则,以评估各成分对总收入不平等的贡献。
This paper disaggregates the income of individuals or households into different factor components, such as earnings, investment income, and transfer payments, and considers how to assess the contributions of these sources to total income inequality. In the approach adopted, a number of basic principles of decomposition are proposed and their implications for the assignment of component contributions are examined.
