IS THERE ROOM FOR POLARIZATION?
研究了极化概念能否纳入相对剥夺理论框架，认为极化可代表群体力量，对研究收入分配和社会福利的经济学者有参考价值。
Polarization is a concept which is defined over the distribution of income. It is clear that it does not fit into the framework of the traditional Bergson‐type Social Welfare Function. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the concept can fit into the framework of the theory of Relative Deprivation. It is suggested that it may be incorporated into this theory as representing the power of groups.
