A Micro-decomposition Analysis of Aggregate Human Development Outcomes

We show how differences in aggregate human development outcomes over time and space can be additively decomposed into a pure mean income (growth) component, a component attributed to differences in the distribution of income, and components attributed to 'non-income' factors and difference...
