SUMMARY<br />

This paper focuses on the <strong>di</strong>stributional impact of a particular type of non-cash<br />

income, the “imputed rent” in four European Countries (France, Italy, Spain and<br />

United Kingdom) by the use of Eu-Silc data. The estimation method rely on hedonic<br />

regression, corrected by the Heckman procedure to face the sample selection problem.<br />

Taking the <strong>di</strong>sposable income net of non-monetary components as a baseline case, the<br />

inclusion of IR causes a general increase of <strong>di</strong>sposable income and reduction in<br />

inequality indexes, more pronounced for Spain. Following the ranking provided by the<br />

Gini indexes, UK and France remain respectively the most and the least unequal<br />

Countries.<br />
