More Equal But Not So Fair- an Analysis of Brazilian Income Distribution from 1995 to 2009

This study measures unfair inequality in Brazil between 1995 and 2009. To achieve that, we used the statistical tool developed by Almås et al. (2011) and the concept of "responsibility-sensitive" fairness proposed by Bossert (1995),Konow (1996), and Cappelen & Tungodden (2007). The results indicate that the fairness level in Brazil remained unchanged throughout the analyzed period .
