A spatial decomposition of the shift‐share components of labour productivity inequality in Italy

Mauro Mussini

Papers in Regional Science > 98 > 1 > 283 - 306

This paper explores the components of aggregate labour productivity inequality between Italian regions from 2000 to 2013. The Gini index of inequality in aggregate labour productivity is decomposed, showing the extent to which sector productivity differentials and differences in industry‐mix contribute to regional productivity inequality. In addition, the contribution of the interaction between differences...

A spatial shift-share decomposition of electricity consumption changes across Italian regions

Luigi Grossi, Mauro Mussini

Energy Policy > 2018 > 113 > C > 278-293

This paper explores the changes in regional electricity consumption at the NUTS 3 level in Italy over the period 2000–2013. The analysis of regional electricity consumption changes is carried out by introducing a spatial shift-share decomposition measuring the neighbourhood effect on regional energy efficiency change. Our findings show that a shift toward less electricity-intensive activity sectors...

The Measure of Economic Re-Evaluation: a Coefficient Based on Conjoint Analysis

Paolo Mariani, Mauro Mussini, Emma Zavarrone

Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization > New Perspectives in Statistical Modeling and Data Analysis > Data Analysis in Economics > 85-92

During the last 40 years conjoint analysis has been used to solve a wide variety of concerns in market research. Recently, a number of studies have begun to use conjoint analysis for the economic valuation of non-market goods. This paper discusses how to extend the conjoint analysis area of application by introducing a coefficient to measure economic re-evaluation on the basis of utility scores and...

On Measuring Income Polarization: An Approach Based on Regression Trees

Mauro Mussini

Statistics in Transition new series > 2016 > 17 > 2 > 221-236

This article proposes the application of regression trees for analysing income polarization. Using an approach to polarization based on the analysis of variance, we show that regression trees can uncover groups of homogeneous income receivers in a data-driven way. The regression tree can deal with nonlinear relationships between income and the characteristics of income receivers, and it can detect...

Decomposing Changes in Inequality and Welfare Between EU Regions: The Roles of Population Change, Re-Ranking and Income Growth

Mauro Mussini

Social Indicators Research > 2017 > 130 > 2 > 455-478

This paper explores the changes in inequality and welfare between EU regions at the NUTS 3 level over the 2003–2011 period. Changes in absolute and relative inequalities are broken down into components explaining the effects of population change, re-ranking of regions and income growth between regional per capita incomes. Each component of inequality change is further decomposed by subgroup, revealing...

Decomposing changes in CO2 emission inequality over time: The roles of re-ranking and changes in per capita CO2 emission disparities

Mauro Mussini, Luigi Grossi

Energy Economics > 2015 > 49 > C > 274-281

This paper analyzes the effects of changes in country ranking and per capita CO₂ emissions on the change in CO₂ emission inequality over time. For this purpose, we introduce a three-term decomposition of the change occurring in the Gini index of per capita CO₂ emissions when moving from an initial to a final per capita CO₂ emission distribution. The decomposition explains the link between the inequality...

Decomposing inequality change from the perspective of reranking and income growth between income groups

Mauro Mussini

Empirical Economics > 2014 > 47 > 2 > 619-637

This paper proposes a decomposition of the change in inequality from the perspective of income groups. For every dichotomisation of the income distribution into poorer and richer parts, the decomposition allows to detect the change in the relative income gap between the two parts and the reranking between poorer and richer individuals. This decomposition approach is particularly suitable when analysts...

On decomposing inequality and poverty changes over time: A multi-dimensional decomposition

Mauro Mussini

Economic Modelling > 2013 > 33 > C > 8-18

The paper proposes a multi-dimensional decomposition of the changes in the Gini inequality index and the Sen–Shorrocks–Thon poverty index over time. The link among inequality change, re-ranking of individuals and income growth is explained by isolating the source and subgroup contributions to the determinants of the inequality change over time. We show that the poverty change over time depends on...

On the Link Between Silber and Dagum Decompositions of The Gini Index

Mauro Mussini

Statistics in Transition new series > 2010 > 11 > 3 > 169-186

In this paper, we combine two alternative procedures for decomposing the Gini index: the Silber matrix approach and the Dagum technique based on Gini mean difference. This combined decomposition can be used for overlapping as well as no overlapping population subgroups. The presented decomposition procedure derives the within-group, the between-group, and the overlapping inequalities by exploiting...
