We compare inequality of alternative populations of individuals who differ in many characteristics besides income. To do so, we introduce a criterion for ranking multivariate distributions with different marginals and show that some conditions, relevant in the analysis of multidimensional inequality, are equivalent to the ordering we propose.

Abstract
We compare inequality of alternative populations of individuals who differ in many characteristics besides income. To do so, we introduce a criterion for ranking multivariate distributions with different marginals and show that some conditions, relevant in the analysis of multidimensional inequality, are equivalent to the ordering we propose.File in questo prodotto:
