This paper deals with the development of the German personal income distribution in a time perspective. By varying the underlying equivalence scales I analyze whether there are worth mentioning reactions of the measured inequality and poverty due to such variations. My main finding is as follows: Although there is some variation concerning the distributional results all in all – on the overall level – the computed values are comparatively robust. Nevertheless there is at least some variation of the results, and furthermore it is probable that the results would vary to a much greater extent if there would be made a much stronger sociodemographic differentiation than in this merely illustrative paper has been done.... view less

Das Papier beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung der bundesdeutschen personellen Einkommensverteilung in Zeitverlaufsperspektive. Indem die jeweiligen Äquivalenzskalen variiert werden, wird analysiert, ob dies nennenswerte Reaktionen auf die gemessene Ungleichheit und Armut auslöst. Der Hauptbefund ist der folgende: Obwohl es - auf der Gesamtebene - ein wenig Variation bezüglich der Verteilungsergebnisse gibt, sind die berechneten Werte vergleichsweise robust. Gleichwohl gibt es immerhin eine gewisse Ergebnisvariation, und außerdem würden die Ergebnisse viel stärker variieren, wenn eine wesentlich stärkere soziodemografische Differenzierung vorgenommen würde als in diesem lediglich illustrativen Papier.... view less
