Decomposing the Bonferroni Inequality Index by Subgroups: Shapley Value and Balance of Inequality

Additive decomposability is an interesting feature of inequality indices which, however, is not always fulfilled; solutions to overcome such an issue have been given by Deutsch and Silber (2007) and by Di Maio and Landoni (2017). In this paper, we apply these methods, based on the “Shapley value” an...
