The Attitude to Inequalities in France Considering the Tax and Social Security Contributions System by Thibault Gajdos and Bertrand Lhommeau
Classic measurements of inequalities consider the collective aversion to inequalities to be an a priori fixed parameter. This paper proposes using tax data to build an indicator of inequalities that makes allowance for the collective attitude to inequalities. We use this indicator to measure income inequality trends in France from 1990 to 1997. Our analysis finds that the collective aversion to inequalities increased over this period, as shown primarily by a change in the tax and social security contributions policy. Hence, although the dispersion of disposable incomes remained fairly constant over the period in question, perceived inequalities would seem to have risen. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
