Constructing indices of multivariate polarization (2009, background): “The rationale behind a polarization index increasing with the between-groups inequality and decreasing with the within-groups inequality can be found in the postulates of ”increased spread” and ”increased bipolarity”, described in Wolfson (1994), (3)See Wolfson (1994), Esteban et al.”
An Extension of a Measure of Polarization, with an application to the income distribution of five OECD countries (2007, background): “different contexts; see, for instance, Wang and Tsui [ 15 ], Zhang and Kanbur [17], Chakravarty and Majumder [4, 5], Salas and Rodriguez [14], Anderson [1, 2] and Montalvo and Reynal-Querol [12].”
What Difference Do Polarisation Measures Make? An Application to China (2001, methodology): “The theoretical distinctions proposed in this literature are indeed interesting.”
Deprivation and Social Exclusion (2007, unknown): “Although our measure of individual deprivation, reinterpreted in terms of income distributions rather than distributions of functioning failures, resembles that suggested by Yitzhaki (1979), there is an important and substantial difference.”
Nonparametric estimation and inference about the overlap of two distributions (2012, background): “Esteban and Ray (1994) and Duclos, Esteban and Ray (2004) (see also Wang and Tsui (2000)) posited a collection of axioms whose consequences should be reflected in a Polarization measure.”
