| dc.description | This tool illustrates one of the most popular welfare-based measures of inequality, the Atkinson Index. In particular, it discusses the foundations of this Index, in terms of social welfare specifications, and the concept of equally distributed equivalent income on which the measure is based. The use of this measure is then exemplified in a step-by step procedure and in a numerical example. | |
