Ringkasan	The Theil index, introduced by Henri Theil in 1967 by importing Shannon's information theory into economics, measures income inequality as the divergence between each unit's income share and its population share. Its defining advantage is exact additive decomposability: total inequality splits cleanly into a within-group component (inequality inside each subgroup) and a between-group component (inequality between subgroup means). Theil's T and its companion L (mean log deviation) are the two best-known members of the generalized-entropy class, which Anthony Shorrocks showed in 1980 to be the only inequality measures that are additively decomposable in this way.	The Shapley decomposition, formalized for distributional analysis by Anthony Shorrocks (in a widely circulated 1999 working paper, published in 2013), is a general procedure for attributing an inequality or poverty statistic to its contributing factors — income sources, population subgroups, or determinants. It borrows the Shapley value from cooperative game theory: each factor's contribution is its average marginal effect on the indicator across all possible orders in which factors could be eliminated. The result is an exact, symmetric, residual-free decomposition that applies to any indicator, even those (like the Gini) that have no natural analytic decomposition of their own.
