Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This study proposes a new method for decomposing inter-group mean differences. Based on theoretical arguments regarding the availability and distribution of resources influencing achievement in a society. This method utilizes the grand mean values of resources in the system to compare group differences in achievement. The proposed method allows for the specification of majority/minority population distribution in the decomposition of inequality.
