The Foster–Greer–Thorbecke (FGT) poverty measures: 25 years later (2010, background): “2See Atkinson [7]; Kolm [88–90]; and Sen [118], the surveys of Foster and Sen [61] and Cowell [36], and the retrospective of Kanbur [85].”
Gini’s nuclear family (2007, background): “Kolm [33], [34] and Mehran [35] proposed two alternative versions of such a principle; the principle of diminishing transfers which requires the income difference between receivers and donors to be fixed and the principle of positional transfer sensitivity which requires a fixed difference in ranks ”
Inequality decomposition values: the trade-off between marginality and efficiency (2013, background): “Kolm [8, 9] and Theil [17] have tackled this question but we can give Shorrocks [15] credit by setting up the theoretic foundations of the decomposition by income components.”
Statistical Inference for Stochastic Dominance and for the Measurement of Poverty and Inequality (2000, unknown): “Ravallion (1994) and others have called the graph of D(1)(x) a poverty incidence curve, that of D(2)(x) a poverty deficit curve (see also Atkinson (1987)), and that of D(3) A(x) a poverty severity curve.”
Efficiency and equity comparison of cordon- and area-based road pricing schemes using a trip-chain equilibrium model (2007, methodology): “Vold (2005) measured the spatial equity impact of different transport policy packages using Kolm’s measure (Kolm 1976).”
Welfare Rankings in the Presence of Contaminated Data (2002, background): “It has been argued in the welfare literature that the basic principles of monotonicity (first order) and transfers (second order) should be supplemented by others so as to generate third and higher order concepts of dominance (Fishburn and Willig 1984, Kolm 1976, Shorrocks and Foster 1987).”
