Is income inequality fair in Russia? Inequality of opportunity and income inequality

Marina Kartseva and Polina Kuznetsova

Applied Econometrics, 2020, vol. 58, 5-31

Abstract: n this paper we estimate the contribution of inequality of opportunity to income inequality in Russia. We apply the parametric and nonparametric methods to the national representative survey «Man, family, society» carried out by the RANEPA in 2013. We conclude that the contribution of inequality of opportunity is 23–25% for labor incomes and 16–19% for average per capita income. The key factors of inequality of opportunity for labor incomes are gender and place of birth, while for average per capita incomes — place of birth and parental education.
