Abstract

DOI: 10.14254/2071789X.2021/14-3/11 ABSTRACT. We use a novel cross-country data set to measure multidimensional inequality of income, wealth, and consumption in 21 EU countries. We investigate the correlation between the positions of the household in their distributions. We use the bootstrap method to assess the statistical significance of cross-country differences. We find that the correlation between the position of the household in considered distributions varies significantly across countries. Homeownership, median income, and level of unidimensional inequalities are correlated with the strength of the link between distributions. Multidimensional analysis of inequality changes the picture emerging from the unidimensional inequality analysis. Wealth inequality is a crucial contributor to multidimensional inequality. Cross-country differences in multidimensional inequality in the European Union are rather mild.

欧盟的多维不平等。家庭收入、财富和消费的共同分配

DOI:10.1425/2071789X.2021/14/3/11摘要。我们使用一个新的跨国数据集来衡量21个欧盟国家的收入、财富和消费的多维不平等。我们调查了家庭在其分布中的地位之间的相关性。我们使用bootstrap方法来评估跨国差异的统计显著性。我们发现，不同国家的家庭在所考虑的分布中的地位之间的相关性差异很大。住房所有权、收入中位数和一维不平等程度与分配之间的联系强度相关。对不平等的多维分析改变了从一维不平等分析中出现的画面。财富不平等是造成多层面不平等的关键因素。欧洲联盟在多层面不平等方面的跨国差异相当温和。
