Why Horizontal Inequalities Matter: Some Implications for Measurement. (2005, background): “Shorrocks and Wan (2003) decompose spatial inequalities and show empirically that the between-group component increases with the number of subgroups.”
Reinterpreting between-group inequality (2008, background): “This is a necessary condition for between-group inequality to be at its maximum: if {y} is an income distribution for which inequality between sub-groups g and h is maximized, then either all incomes in are higher than all incomes in h, or vice versa (see Shorrocks and Wan [15], section 3).”
Half a World: Regional Inequality in Five Great Federations (2005, background): “…by India and the lowest level of interregional inequality is in the United States, despite the fact that the US has the highest number of states and that there is a presumption that Concept 1 inequality will increase with greater number of partitions (see Proposition 1 in Shorrocks & Wan, 2004).”
