Inequality Generation & Persistence as Multidimensional Processes: An Interdisciplinary Agenda

An agenda to fight inequality.

1376 www.thelancet.com Vol 389 April 8, 2017 The USA is one of the richest countries in the world, but that reality means very little for most people because so much of that wealth is controlled by a tiny sliver of Americans. During the past 35 years, there has been a massive transfer of wealth away from the middle class and the poor to the top 0·1% of the US population. Despite advancements in...

The Response to and Impact of the Ebola Epidemic: Towards an Agenda for Interdisciplinary Research

Background The 2013-2016 Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic in West Africa was the largest in history and resulted in a huge public health burden and significant social and economic impact in those countries most affected. Its size, duration and geographical spread presents important opportunities for research than might help national and global health and social care systems to better prepare ...

Multidimensional inequality and multidimensional generalized entropy measures: An axiomatic derivation

This paper generalizes the axiomatic approach to the design of income inequality measures to the multiattribute context. While the extension of most axioms considered desirable for inequality indices is straightforward, it is not entirely clear when a situation is more unequal than another when each person is characterised by a vector of attributes of wellbeing. We explore two majorization crit...

A multidimensional discrete Hilbert-type inequality

In this paper, by using the way of weight coecients and technique of real analysis, a multidimensionaldiscrete Hilbert-type inequality with a best possible constant factor is given. The equivalentform, the operator expression with the norm are considered.
