โฆ Synopsis
Let g be a smooth function on R n with values in [0, 1]. Using the isoperimetric property of the Gaussian measure, it is proved that ,(8 &1 (Eg))&E,(8 &1 ( g)) E |{g|. Conversely, this inequality implies the isoperimetric property of the Gaussian measure.

Changes in rank-dependent income-related health inequality measures over time may usefully be decomposed into contributions due to changes in health outcomes and changes in individuals' positions in the income distribution. This paper establishes the normative implications of this type of decomposit
