| Tiivistelmä: | The structure of intra-household allocation is crucial to know whether a transfer from a rich household (here as: h-h./h-hs.) to a poor one translates into a transfer from a rich individual to a poor one. If rich h-hs. are more unequal than poor ones, then a progressive transfer among h-hs. reduces intra-h-h. inequality, hence inequality among individuals. More specifically, two conditions have to be satisfied for extending Generalized Lorenz judgments from h-h. level to individual one. The double concavity condition is non-parametrically tested on the French Household Expenditure Survey (2000). It is not rejected by the data, supporting the view that power is more evenly distributed in poor h-hs. |
