This paper discusses the dynamic properties of generalized entropy measures of inequality, deriving an explicit expression linking changes in inequality with changes in the growth income. This establishes a time-wise decomposition for the family of generalized entropy measures of inequality, showing that the rate of change in the distribution of income can be divided into two parts. One is pure...
