The Concept and Measurement of Group Inequality
Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: May, 05 , 2001The economist’s conceptualisation of inequality in terms of
interpersonal distribution of income or wealth, and the tradition of
measurement of inequality that follows from this conceptualisation have
not paid adequate attention to the need for reckoning inequality across
social groups. In this paper they show that certain simple statistical tools
to analyse categorical data can be shown to have properties that conform
to our normative judgement on group inequality. [Working Paper No. 315]
