严格推导了家庭总收入基尼系数与工资、转移收入等成分不平等度量之间的关系,指出使用按总收入分组的平均数据而非个体数据会导致严重偏差,并以台湾1964-1976年数据为例说明。

Abstract

The paper provides a rigorous and exact formulation of the relationship between the Gini measure of inequality in total income across families, and corresponding measures of inequality in such components of total income as wages, transfer income, etc. It is shown that serious problems of bias arise when individual family data are not available and when data on averages for families grouped by the size of total income are used instead. These problems are illustrated with reference to data for Taiwan, 1964 to 1976.
