Distributional characteristics for Ireland: a note

David Madden ()

No 200910, Working Papers from School of Economics, University College Dublin

Abstract: The distributional characteristic is a measure which can be used in many applications in social cost-benefit analysis. In the application here, the distributional characteristics of a number of broad aggregates of goods are calculated for Ireland. These calculations can aid in assessing the distributional implications of price and tax changes.
