摘要：
This paper generalizes the relative and absolute inequality measures pioneered by Atkinson, Kolm, and Sen to the multidimensional setting with K attributes of well being. Social evaluation functions satisfying a set of axioms which are natural generalizations of their counterparts in the unidimensional context are first introduced. Then it is shown that different scale invariance axioms inexorably lead to classes of relative and absolute inequality indices. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
