最近的研究试图量化收入不平等在多大程度上是由收入组成部分造成的，如收入、投资收入和转移收入。本文考察了分配不平等贡献给组件所涉及的基本问题和问题。美国家庭收入数据采用了不同的分解方法。即使使用自然衍生的分解规则，也可以获得广泛的贡献。所得到的一些荒谬的结果是对滥用分解公式的警告。
Recent studies attempt to quantify the extent to which income inequality is due to income components, such as earnings, investment income and transfer income. This paper examines the fundamental issues and problems involved in assigning inequality contributions to components. Different decompositions are applied to U.S. family income data. A wide range of contributions can be obtained, even when naturally derived decomposition rules are used. Some absurd results obtained serve to warn against indiscriminate use of decomposition formula.
