Abstract
This paper investigates income inequality among individuals in Sweden overtime using generalized entropy measures in short-run (annual) and long-run (medium term) from 1978 to 1990. The results suggest that short-run inequality tends to decrease with fluctuations, partially due to transitory components. Long-run inequality declines in early years due to smoothing of transitory components. Further decline in long-run inequality is due to actual equalization. Gender, cohort, marital status, and region are used to investigate their implications. Between-group inequality due to gender and cohort are shown to be significant part of inequality. Within-group equalizations are generally more pronounced. Distinct group specific differences are observed.
