Inequality in multidimensional well‐being in the United States
构建了衡量个人多维福祉的框架，并讨论了两种测量多维福祉不平等的方法。利用美国当前人口调查数据，计算了收入、健康和教育三个指标的综合福祉指数，发现2010-2014年不平等加剧，2014-2019年有所缓解。
In this paper we provide a framework to measure an individual's multidimensional well‐being and discuss two approaches to measuring inequality in multidimensional well‐being. The framework is used to study inequality in multidimensional well‐being in the United States in the last decade. Using data from the Current Population Survey on three well‐being indicators, namely, income, health, and education, we first compute a multidimensional well‐being index for every individual in the sample and then study inequality of well‐being thus obtained. We find that inequality in well‐being increased between 2010 and 2014 and decreased between 2014 and 2019. We test the sensitivity of our results by using alternative measures of inequality and attaching alternative weights to well‐being indicators.
