Decomposing Inequality Changes

.

Chapter 5 in Comparing Income Distributions, 2023, pp 91-120 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 5 shows how survey calibration methods can be used to examine the contributions to changing inequality of a wide range of variables. When examining a time series of annual inequality measures, there are many other changes taking place, such as changes in the age composition of the population, labour force participation, and household structure. The chapter provides an empirical analysis of annual income and expenditure inequality in New Zealand over a thirty-year period from the early 1980s. The extent of redistribution through the tax and benefit system is also explored.
