Description Readers' comments

This article uses data from the 2002-2010 waves of Bank of Italy Survey on Households Income and Wealth. It reports data on the evolution of the distribution of income by main households’ income sources and by households’ income rank and on the evolution of concentration indexes by the same characters. The decompositions of Theil and Gini indexes are used to assess if the changes in overall concentration are mainly driven by a deeping of inequality between groups or by increases of within groups concentration and of overlapping among groups distributions.
