摘要This paper analyzes the heterogeneity effect of immigration on earnings inequality by decomposing the aggregate measure of total inequality. The analysis shows that a substantial portion of an increase in measured inequality could be due to shifts in shares of heterogeneous population groups caused by immigration policy rather than by widening earnings dispersion within these groups. The analysis is illustrated with census data of Hong Kong from 19http://aims.cuhk.edu.hk/converis/portal/Publication/81 to 1991. Income redistribution policy based on measured total inequality when there are shifts in population shares could be misguided.
