This monograph firstly bargains a scientific therapy of the speculation and technique of other notions of source of revenue polarization and comparable concerns. It then is going directly to learn social polarization, ordinal polarization, and the kinfolk among inequality polarization, fractionalization and chance of conflicts. Axiomatic methods to the dimension of polarization from diverse views are analyzed conscientiously. as a way to comprehend the variation among inequality and polarization, a dialogue on source of revenue inequality is additionally included.

As Duclos and Taptue (2014) pointed out, four distinct but unrelated steps are involved in an exercise of this type. The first step is to specify the space for disuniting the distribution across the middle position. Two alternative notions of space are income and population spaces. According to the income space, the middle class is defined with respect to a particular income range, and all individuals whose incomes belong to this income range are treated as middle-class persons. On the other hand, the population space looks at the income range, covered by a given percentage of the population.

The sums P jy^ i À mj, 1 j < n; become 3 and 1, respectively, while the sums j i

The particular cases of IcS (x) corresponding to c ¼ 0 and c ¼ 1 are, respectively, the Theil (1972) mean logarithmic deviation index and the Theil (1967) entropy index of inequality. For c ¼ 2; the resulting index is simply half the squared coefficient of variation. IcS satisfies POP, NOM, SYM, and PDT for all values of c. For any c 2 ðÀ1, 1Þ [ ½1; 2Þ, IcS attaches more weight to transfers lower down the distribution. ) The weight associated with the inequality of subgroup i in the decomposition is À Á À Ác given by wi λ, n ¼ nni λλi .
