Abstract: Abstract By adapting the statistical framework suggested by Szekely and Rizzo (2004) and considering the convergence of income distributions instead of aggregate (e.g., average) income, we exploit the scale-independence property of proper inequality metrics to… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we propose a two-step decomposition procedure for studying the functional time series of income distribution (ID) of a population under a subgroup classification. Using the law of total probability, we first… read more here.
