This paper examines the impact on German personal income distribution of income-dependent (variable) equivalence scales. On the basis of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), the use of variable equivalence scales causes distinctive increases in income inequality compared with income-independent, constant equivalence scales. Moreover, the narrowing of income limits between the upper and lower income region also leads to an increase in income inequality. The paper at hand is contentually interrelated especially to FaMa discussion papers 6/2010, 1/2011, 2/2011, and 3/2011.... view less

Das Arbeitspapier untersucht den Einfluss einkommensabhängiger (variabler) Äquivalenzskalen auf die personelle Einkommensverteilung in Deutschland. Auf Basis des Sozioökonomischen Panels (SOEP) 1992-2010 zeigt sich, dass die Verwendung variabler Äquivalenzskalen deutliche Ungleichheitssteigerungen im Vergleich zur Verwendung einkommensunabhängiger, konstanter Äquivalenzskalen mit sich bringt. Außerdem führt die Verengung des Abstandes zwischen den Einkommensgrenzen der oberen und der unteren Einkommensregionen ebenfalls zu einem Anstieg in der Einkommensungleichheit.... view less
