Activity: Participating in or organising an event types › Contribution to workshop, seminar, course

Description

The workshop on measuring inequality addressed key properties that effective inequality measures should possess, including anonymity, transfer sensitivity, and decomposability. Key measures explored included the Gini coefficient, the Theil index with its capability for within-group and between-group decomposition, entropy indices with various sensitivities, and the Atkinson index, reflecting societal equity preferences. This exploration equipped participants with essential tools for analyzing and interpreting socio-economic inequality across diverse contexts.
