Project: Perverse Einkommensverteilung
Master data
Perverse Einkommensverteilung | |
Description: | Wir versuchen einen Rahmen für Bedingungen zu entwickeln, unter welchen ein rangerhaltender marginaler Transfer von einem reicheren Individuum zu einem ärmeren Individuum die Einkommensungleichheit verschärft. Wir versuchen zu zeigen, dass dies geschieht, wenn die Präferenzen der Individuen nicht nur negativ von der Arbeitszeit (Kostenaufwand), sondern auch von der relativen Deprivation abhängen. Wir zeigen rigoros, dass die Menge an Prioritätsprofilen, welche zu diesem perversen Transfereffekt an Ungleichheit führt (bei Messung der Ungleichheit mit dem Gini Koeffizienten) eine nicht leere offene Teilmenge aller Prioritätsprofile ist. Ein Beispiel verdeutlicht unsere Forschungsidee. |

Perverse Income Redistribution | |
Description: | We propose to develop a framework that will yield conditions under which a rank-preserving marginal transfer from a richer individual to a poorer individual exacerbates income inequality. We will seek to show that this happens when individuals’ preferences depend negatively not only on work time (costly effort) but also on relative deprivation. We plan to show rigorously that the set of preference profiles that gives rise to this perverse effect of a transfer on inequality (when inequality is measured by the Gini coefficient) is a non-empty open subset of all preference profiles. An example illustrates our research idea. |
