About: Suits index

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Suits index of a public policy is a measure of tax progressiveness, named for economist . Similar to the Gini coefficient, the Suits index is calculated by comparing the area under the Lorenz curve to the area under a proportional line. For a progressive tax (for example, where higher income tax units pay a greater fraction of their income as tax), the Suits index is positive. A proportional tax (for example, where each unit pays an equal fraction of income) has a Suits index of zero, and a regressive tax (for example, where lower income tax units pay a greater fraction of income in tax) has a negative Suits index. A theoretical tax where the richest person pays all the tax has a Suits index of 1, and a tax where the poorest person pays everything has a Suits index of −1. Tax preferenc

dbo:abstract
  • Der Suits-Index ist ein Maß für die Progression einer Politikmaßnahme, beispielsweise einer Steuer. Er erfasst wie ungleich die Politikmaßnahme verteilt ist. Benannt ist der Index nach dem US-amerikanischen Ökonomen Daniel Burbidge Suits. Eine proportionale Steuer, die jeden gleich belastet, hat einen Suits-Index von 0; eine regressive Steuer bei der niedrigere Einkommen einen höheren Anteil zahlen als hohe Einkommen, hat einen negativen Indexwert. So lässt sich beispielsweise vergleichen, in welchem Umfang verschiedene Steuersysteme Einkommen umverteilen. (de)

Tax preferences (credits and deductions) also have a Suits index. (en)
