Using the figure below, calculate the gain from redistributing $25,000 from those earning $100,000 to those earning $50,000. Why do you think that this gain in well-being is smaller than the redistribution in the example in the chapter, which is redistributed from someone earning $200,000 to someone earning $20,000? What are some potential problems with this redistribution plan?
The table shows the distribution of market income.
Suppose the government redistributes income by taxing
the 60 percent of households with the highest market
incomes 10 percent, then distributing the tax collected
as an equal benefit to the 40 percent with the lowest
market income.
What percentage of total market income is redistributed
to the second 20 percent of households?
What is the income share of the third 20 percent of
households after tax and redistribution?
>>> Answer to 1 decimal place.
earch
The second 20 percent of households receives benefits
equal to percent of total market income.
The third 20 percent of households earns percent of
total income after tax and benefits.

Perfect inequality in distribution of income can be exhibited in reality. Holding all other incomes constant, if we transfer some income from a richer person to a poorer person, the resulting new income distribution is more unequal. There is absolute poverty below the international poverty line. Modern sector enlargement assures a better Lorenz Curve for a nation. The average poverty gap measures the sum of the differences the income of each person from the absolute poverty line. The multidimensional poverty index gives equal weight to all eight indicators. The normalized income shortfall is a measure of income inequality. When government’s intervention to poverty and income inequality are thoroughly planned, implemented and monitored, a nation is secured of achieving economic development. When the S-shaped function cuts the 45-degree line of equality from above, the equilibrium achieved is stable.
