Commitment to Equity Assessment (CEQ): Estimating the Incidence of Social Spending, Subsidies and Taxes Handbook (2013, background): “ Cowell and Flachaire (2007) have instead suggested estimating inequality by using a semi-‐parametric approach whereby inequality is estimated by combining the classic non-‐parametric measurement for most of the distribution with a parametric measurement applied…”
