• Economic Restructuring and Income Inequality in Urban China (2004, methodology): “Recently, regression-based decomposition approaches have been developed (Fields, 1998; Morduch and Sicular, 2002).”
• Decomposition of differences in distribution using quantile regression (2005, result): “Even if the ranking of inequality is the same with different summary measures, their decomposition may yield totally different results (Morduch and Sicular 2002).”
• Decomposition procedures for distributional analysis: a unified framework based on the Shapley value (2013, background): “The best known example is the subgroup decomposition of the Gini coefficient, which has exercised the minds of many authors including Pyatt (1976) and Lambert and Aronson (1993). A less familiar, but potentially much more serious, problem concerns the limitations placed on the types of contributory ”
• Bayesian structured additive distributional regression with an application to regional income inequality in Germany (2015, background): “Then, the (log-)normal distribution [Greene (2008), Chapter 19, Morduch and Sicular (2002)] is often implicitly considered (again with regression effects only on the mean) or one reverts to local analyses by means of quantile regression [Autor, Katz and Kearney (2008), Galvao, Lamarche and Lima…”
• Accounting for income inequality in rural China: a regression-based approach (2004, methodology): “These terms give rise to specific problems, which are neglected or not properly addressed in Morduch and Sicular (2002) and Fields and Yoo (2000).”
• A Cross-Country Comparison of Rural Income Generating Activities (2010, methodology): “We estimate the Theil T inequality index for total income and the components of total income following the approach described by Morduch and Sicular (1998). This index gives a measure of inequality that accounts for the population share of each individual as well as the share of income in total inco”
