“…The latter guarantees that we do not treat the growth values of two individuals with the same initial income level differently. Next, we impose the counterparts of the structural axioms used by Bossert (1990) and Demuynck and Van de gaer (2012) on the present domain, the domain of initial income level based averaged growth, ranked on the basis of initial income. In particular, we impose Relative and Translation Invariance (RI and TI), requiring that the aggregate growth ordering of two growth processes is unaffected when, in both processes, all individuals' growth values are multiplied by the same constant or when, in both growth processes, the same constant is added to all individuals' growth values, respectively.…”

We propose a characterization of an aggregate measure of growth that takes into account the initial economic conditions of individuals. Our measure is a weighted average of individuals' income growth with weights that are decreasing with the rank of the individual in the initial income distribution. We apply our theoretical framework to evaluate the growth processes experienced by the Italian population. Even when we correct for the differences in mean income growth, and focus on the distribution of growth only, the 2008-2010 growth process was the worst of the last decade.

“…There are two ways in which this dilemma may be mitigated. One is the standard "inequality adjusted" growth rate and directional mobility indices 1 (Demuynck and Van de Gaer, 2011) and the other, the concept that is pursued here. The standard literature reveals some sort of additivity of individual positions (or decomposability of the aggregate into individual parts).…”

Dynamics in human development: Partial mobility and “jump”

Development economists have argued that interesting dynamics exist in the intergroup movement of countries in terms of several development parameters. However, standard mobility measures are aggregative in nature. They do not study intergroup variation in mobility. In an earlier paper, we have introduced the concept of partial mobility for analysing the movement of a particular group. In this paper, the degree to which the group has progressed (or declined) from its current position is measured. It is argued that any movement is not sufficient to enhance (or worsen) a group's welfare. There is a perceived threshold, and any movement above that threshold may be defined as "jump". The focus of this paper is jumps, not just mobility. Jump is characterized with a set of axioms. The analysis of global data reveals that the poor countries fail to cross a threshold level, although there may be some limited movement within a narrow limit.JEL Classification: O130, O400, O160, I310.

Our new approach to mobility measurement involves separating out the valuation of positions in terms of individual status (using income, social rank, or other criteria) from the issue of movement between positions. The quantification of movement is addressed using a general concept of distance between positions and a parsimonious set of axioms that characterize the distance concept and yield a class of aggregative indices. This class of indices induces a superclass of mobility measures over the different status concepts consistent with the same underlying data. We investigate the statistical inference of mobility indices using two well‐known status concepts, related to income mobility and rank mobility. We also show how our superclass provides a more consistent and intuitive approach to mobility, in contrast to other measures in the literature, and illustrate its performance using recent data from China.
