Abstract

Peter Lambert is without question one of the most outstanding scholars in the world today to have contributed to the field of enquiry broadly referred to as ‘distributional analysis’. The field covers the broad range of problems in the conceptualization, measurement and estimation of inequality, tax incidence, poverty, welfare, and related phenomena, and the implications of research into these issues for the design of policy aimed at enhancing well-being and reducing the burdens of deprivation and disparity. From both positive and normative perspectives, Peter’s work has been of the first importance and highest quality to which any individual scholar could aspire.
