In this work we provide a decomposition by sources of the inequality index dened by Zenga (Giornale degli Economisti e Annali di economia 43(56):301326, 1984). The source contributions are obtained with the method proposed in Zenga et al. (Stat Appl X(1):331, 2012) and Zenga (Stat Appl XI(2):133161, 2013), that allows to compare different inequality measures. This method is based on the decomposition of inequality curves. To apply this decomposition to the index and its inequality curve, we adapt the method to the cograduation table. Moreover, we consider the case of linear transformation of sources and analyse the corresponding results.
