本文认为，世界不平等的考虑应该促使我们重新审视的福利方法来衡量收入不平等和不平等的测量和贫困的测量之间的相互关系的基本概念。我们认为有必要重新审查的原因有三个：（i）全球收入差异的程度意味着我们不能简单地沿用国家层面使用的方法;我们需要更灵活的衡量标准;（ii）我们必须协调世界不平等和世界贫困的衡量标准;（iii）我们需要更充分地探索衡量相对或绝对的不同方式。因此，我们提出了一种新的衡量标准，（a）将贫困和不平等结合起来，包括为那些只关心贫困的人提供服务，（B）采用不同的方法来衡量不平等;（c）允许以不同的方式表示不平等的代价。应用于1820年至1992年期间的世界分布，新的措施提供了不同的角度来看全球不平等的演变。
This paper argues that consideration of world inequality should cause us to re-examine the key concepts underlying the welfare approach to the measurement of income inequality and the inter-relation between the measurement of inequality and the measurement of poverty. There are three reasons why we feel that a re-examination is necessary: (i) the extent of global income differences means that we cannot simply carry over the methods used at a national level; we need a more flexible measure; (ii) we have to reconcile measures of world inequality and world poverty; and (iii) we need to explore more fully the different ways in which measures may be relative or absolute. This leads us to propose a new measure, which (a) combines poverty and inequality, including provision for those who are concerned only with poverty, (b) incorporates different approaches to the measurement of inequality; and (c) allows the cost of inequality to be expressed in different ways. Applied to the world distribution for the period 1820-1992, the new measure provides different perspectives on the evolution of global inequality.
