Working Paper Abstract

135. "A note on between-groups inequality with an application to genders"
         by M. Monti and A. Santoro

Abstract

Existing methods of between-groups income inequality measurement are rather uninformative if applied to genders since they are not sensitive to discrimination.
We introduce a Gini-based measure of between-genders inequality which explicitly
depends upon discrimination  and we apply it to measure the impact of a gender-
based tax reform in Italy.

JEL Classification Code: D31

Keywords: between-groups inequality, Gini index decomposition, stratification,
transvariations, gender-based taxation.
