See also Fine and Loureiro (2020, 2021) for recent approaches to group-wise decompositions of inequality from first principles whilst relaxing the assumption of group symmetry (i.e. allowing income to be valued differently across groups), drawing on the foundational approaches of Atkinson (1970), Shorrocks (1980) and Fine (1975, 1985, 1996).…”
