Abstract
This paper discusses the main normative measures of multidimensional inequality in well-being and examines the impact of alternative methodological choices in empirical applications. Specific attention is devoted to alternative transformation and normalization criteria, and to normative choices on the degree of substitutability between dimensions and inequality aversion. The empirical application is carried out considering three well-being dimensions (income, health and education) and using Italian data from the IT-SILC survey.
