Researchers assessing quantitatively the future macroeconomic impact of low fertility rates by the means of simulations invariably assume that young and old workers are perfect substitutes at fixed ratios and that workers of all ages are approximately paid their productivity. But there is empirical evidence which suggests that young and old workers are essentially imperfect substitutes; and tha...

in order to estimate the effects of the macrc~econornic indicators on the income distribution of iran, the time series data during the period of 1971-1991 were used. first the yammetric inequality indicators (the gini coefficients) were estimated for the years 1991-1972. the results show the lowest level of inequality in 1980 with g=0.42 and the highest level in 1982 with g=0.55. arzulysing the...

equitable distribution of income and economic growth are challenges for policy-makers. therefore, it is important to investigate the influencing factors of it. given that financial development is an important factor affecting on income inequality, in this study, the effect of financial development on the gini coefficient as income inequality index is examined with using panel data methods durin...

OBJECTIVES To examine associations between child wellbeing and material living standards (average income), the scale of differentiation in social status (income inequality), and social exclusion (children in relative poverty) in rich developed societies. DESIGN Ecological, cross sectional studies. SETTING Cross national comparisons of 23 rich countries; cross state comparisons within the Un...

Orthogonal polynomials have been used to produce sharp estimates in Harmonic Analysis in several instances. The first most notorious and original use was in Beckner’s thesis [1], where he proved the sharp Hausdorff-Young inequality using Hermite polynomial expansions. More recently, Foschi [4] used spherical harmonics and Gegenbauer polynomials in his proof of the sharp Tomas-Stein adjoint Four...

Age-related changes in young children's expectations for others' resource allocation decisions were investigated. Children ages 3 to 6years (N=80) were introduced to an inequality of resources between two groups. Participants gave their expectations for (a) how a member of the group with more resources (advantaged group) and a member of the group with fewer resources (disadvantaged group) would...
