Abstract

This article makes three basic contributions: (a) review an already existing measure of ‘inclusive growth’ derived from a measure of inclusiveness (an increase which is assumed to be associated with inclusive growth) and show that this is one among a class of an infinite number of possible measures; (b) identify two drawbacks associated with the class of measures of ‘inclusive growth’ mentioned in (a) and come up with a measure of inclusive growth which is not associated with one of these drawbacks and (c) propound a measure of inclusiveness of growth which allows the researcher the room to partition an income-ordered population into blocks so that he/she can concentrate on inter-block inequality in growth rates of per capita income and neglect intra-block inequality (note that the formulation of this measure allows the researcher to partition the population into blocks in any way which he/she wants to) in growth rates of individual incomes.

关于衡量包容性增长和增长的包容性的说明

本文做出了三个基本贡献:(a)回顾了从包容性(假定与包容性增长相关的增长)度量中推导出的现有“包容性增长”度量，并表明这是无数可能度量中的一类;(b)确定与(a)中提到的“包容性增长”措施相关的两个缺点，并提出一个与这些缺点无关的包容性增长措施;(c)提出一个包容性增长措施，使研究人员有空间将收入排序的人口划分为块，以便他/她可以专注于人均收入增长率的块间不平等，而忽略块内不平等(注意这一措施的制定允许研究人员在个人收入增长率方面以任何他/她想要的方式将人口划分为块。JEL分类:D30, D31

期刊介绍： The purpose of the Journal is to publish (in English language) peer-reviewed articles, reviews and scholarly comments on issues relating to contemporary global macroeconomics and public finance by which is understood: The Journal is for all professionals concerned with contemporary Macroeconomics and Public Finance and is a forum for all views on related subjects. The Editorial Board welcomes articles of current interest on research and application on the areas mentioned above. The Journal will be international in the sense that it seeks research papers from authors with an international reputation and articles that are of interest to an international audience. In pursuit of the above, the journal shall: a. draw on and include high quality work from the international community of scholars including those in the major countries of Asia, Europe, Asia Pacific, the United States, other parts of the Americas and elsewhere with due representation for considerations of the readership. The Journal shall include work representing the major areas of interest in contemporary research on Macroeconomics and Public Finance and on a wide range of issues covering macro- economics, tax and fiscal issues, banking and finance, international trade, labour economics, computational and mathematical methods, etc. The Journal would particularly engage papers on pure and applied economic theory and econometric methods. b. avoid bias in favour of the interests of particular schools or directions of research or particular political or narrow disciplinary objectives to the exclusion of others. c. ensure that articles are written in a terminology and style which makes them intelligible, not merely within the context of a particular discipline or abstract mode, but across the domain of relevant disciplines.
