On the Decomposition of the Foster and Wolfson Bi‐Polarization Index by Income Sources
提出一种基于矩阵形式的简单算法,用于计算福斯特和沃尔夫森双极化指数并按收入来源进行分解,基于2007和2014年欧盟收入与生活条件数据的实证分析展示了该分解的实用性。
This paper proposes a simple algorithm based on a matrix formulation to compute the Foster and Wolfson bipolarization index and then to decompose it by income sources. An empirical illustration based on EU‐SILC data for the years 2007 and 2014 shows the usefulness of the proposed decomposition.
