摘要：

The rank dominance criterion for comparing income distributions assumes the Pareto principle, anonymity, and population size invariance. This paper applies rank dominance to compare international income distributions. Empirically, rank dominance is a powerful tool for ordering income distributions. Our results suggest that much of the power of generalized Lorenz dominance is due to efficiency preference, and equity preference adds only marginally to the ability to order income distributions. © 1991.
