摘要
在等分法的基础上,本文构建了度量收入差距的一种新方法:均等指数方法,并对均等指数的特性进行了数学上的分析与严格证明。在此基础上,利用均等指数方法对中国及42个国家和地区进行了实际计算,并进行了国际比较。结论表明,均等指数具有一定的替代基尼系数的效应。均等指数方法具有直观、易于理解、意义明确、数据要求简单和计算简便等多方面的特点,同时还可推广运用于其他有关差距的度量问题。
Based on the method of equal group, the paper designs a new index of measuring the distribution of income in the economy, which the new index is called equalization index, and the properties of equalization index are proved. Then the method of equalization index is used in measuring the distribution of income of China and other 42 countries. The results show that the method of equalization index have advantages such as easy to understand, clear-cut meaningful, easy to get the data and easy to calculate, and may substitute Gini Coefficient. In addition, it can be used for measuring other kinds of distribution issues.
