摘要
This paper asks how much we should care about changes in Lorenz curves and standard inequality measures when economic growth takes place. I conclude that these changes are of some importance but that other aspects of inequality and poverty are more important. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of Society for Policy Modeling.
