متن کاملDecomposing Lorenz and Concentration Curves*
We decompose the Lorenz curve and its associated concentration curve by population subgroups. To illustrate these decompositions, we examine changes in earnings inequality among West Germans, East Germans, and foreign guest workers during the recent German unification. We show that East German earnings have become less concentrated in the lower deciles of the overall German earnings distributio...

15 صفحه اولA Simple Consistent Nonparametric Estimator of the Lorenz Curve
We propose a nonparametric estimator of the Lorenz curve that satisfies its theoretical properties, including monotonicity and convexity. We adopt a transformation approach that transforms a constrained estimation problem into an unconstrained one, which is estimated nonparametrically. We utilize the splines to facilitate the numerical implementation of our estimator and to provide a parametric...
