Abstract: I discuss a new approach which decomposes inequality into the contributions of population groups by income sources. I estimate a matrix with rows and columns which indicate different population groups and income sources respectively, with each element indicating the marginal change in the inequality contribution of a group (as measured by the recentered influence function) when an income source is added and with all contributions adding up to overall inequality.
