| Abstract |
| The purpose of this paper is to measure and comment on income inequalities in Greece for the period 1974-1994. All the measures presented are estimated using the same data source and a common method of calculation. Inequality is measured using Gini’s coefficient. The empirical findings indicate an increase of income inequality and the share of the middle income groups in total income was rising at the expense of the income share of the poor. |
