Notes:
The “norm income” approach to inequality measurement is based on a comparison of the observed income distribution with a reference distribution consistent with the socially desired minimum degree of inequality (and not the equal shares distribution). Garvy and Paglin suggested such an approach, and we show that their methods, suitably modified, are closely related to the multivariate methods recently proposed by Atkinson and Bourguignon. The advantage and disadvantages of a norm income approach are analyzed in detail.
