Selection using Gini Measure of Income Inequality
A variety of measures are used to compare income inequalities, many of which have been derived from Lorenz curve. However, classical Gini coefficient and its variations are probably the most commonly used measures of income inequality. They are considered as the best measures by many scientists, but it is also recognized that the choice of age-grouping affects the Gini measures (Formby, et al. ...
متن کاملZenga Distribution and Inequality Ordering
ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to establish an ordering related to the inequality for the recently introduced Zenga distribution. In addition to the well-known order based on the Lorenz curve, the order based on I(p) curve is considered. Since the Zenga distribution seems to be suitable to model wealth, financial, actuarial and especially, income distributions, these findings are fundamental...
متن کاملOn a Distance Function-Based Inequality Measure in the Spirit of the Bonferroni and Gini Indices
A natural way of viewing an inequality or a poverty measure is in terms of the vector distance between an actual (empirical) distribution of incomes and some appropriately normative distribution (reflecting a perfectly equal distribution of incomes, or a distribution with the smallest mean that is compatible with a complete absence of poverty). Real analysis offers a number of distance function...
متن کاملA fuzzy logic approach to poverty analysis based on the Gini and Bonferroni inequality indices
Abstract: In the poverty analysis framework, a great deal of attention has been paid to the poverty measurement in terms of monetary variables, such as income or consumption. In this context, a relevant open problem is connected with the distinction between poor and nonpoor. In fact, the concept of poverty is rather vague and cannot be defined in a clear way. In this respect, following a fuzzy ...
متن کاملEstimating the Income Elasticities of Health Expenditures for Income Quintiles and Inequality of Health Expenditures Distribution
Background: Determining the income elasticities of the household health expenditures, especially for income deciles, leads to adoption of appropriate policies to control and manage health expenditures among income deciles. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to estimate the income elasticities of urban household health expenditures by income quintiles, and also calculate inequality in...
