Description Readers' comments

The purpose of this paper is to extend Dagum’s Gini decomposition (“A New Approach to the Decomposition of the Gini Income Inequality Ratio”, Empirical Economics 22(4), 515-531, 1997a) following three types of theoretical modelisations. The first one deals with a “poor/non-poor” decomposition within a sub-group multilevel framework. The second one exhibits a multi-decomposition technique, that is, the combination of the multilevel sub-group decomposition and the income source decomposition. Finally, we provide a parametric multidecomposition in order to capture different dimensions of income inequality within groups and between groups.

Keywords: Gini, Income Source Decomposition, Multi-decomposition, Poverty, Subgroup Decomposition.
