This book presents a model which aims to maximize a symmetrical welfare function under certain constraints which consider both efficiency and equity, i.e. taxes and subsidies, implemented by a public authority. The model is numerically implemented and considers a set of economic agents with starting incomes that satisfy Pareto income law under various values of the alpha parameter. Also, the model implementations respect the social production function. Various experiments are presented which show how income inequality (measured by means of the Lorenz curve and, what I call, the Lorenz-Gini inequality index) and measures of poverty are sensibly reduced by redistributing national income without lowering efficiency in production. A case study, or application, of Italian personal income in 2008 is also presented. | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | Efficiency; Equity; Inequality; Poverty; Welfare economics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-30071-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-30070-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-30071-4Series ISSN 0075-8442 Series E-ISSN 2196-9957 | issn_series | 0075-8442 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013 |
