Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to decompose income inequality based on two different dimensions in nature. One is sample's personal characteristics, and the other is income sources. Empirical investigation is attempted to data in Japan. Although there are several studies which attempted decomposing income inequality either based on personal characteristics including several different personal characteristics, or based on incoe sources in Japan, this is the first attempt at least in Japan, which decomposed income inequality by combining the different dimensions in nature. We find based on this rigorous estimation method that several personal characteristics and/or particular income sources work as either equalizing factors for total income inequality or inequalizing factors.
