Single crossing Lorenz curves and inequality comparisons

Since the order generated by the Lorenz criterion is partial, it is a natural question to wonder how to extend this order. Most of the literature that is concerned with that question focuses on local changes in the income distribution. We follow a different approach, and define uniform α−spreads, which are global changes in the income distribution. We give necessary and sufficient conditions fo...

Tsallis Maximum Entropy Lorenz Curves

In this paper, at first we derive a family of maximum Tsallis entropy distributions under optional side conditions on the mean income and the Gini index. Furthermore, corresponding with these distributions a family of Lorenz curves compatible with the optional side conditions is generated. Meanwhile, we show that our results reduce to Shannon entropy as $beta$ tends to one. Finally, by using ac...

Linear Inequality Concepts and Social Welfare

The paper presents ab abstract definition of linear inequality concepts leading to linearly invariant measures and characterizes the class of linear concepts completely. Two general methods of deriving ethical measures are proposed. They imply an Atkinson-Kolm-Sen index and a new dual index reflecting the inequality of living standard. Then all separable social welfare orderings which generate ...

On evaluating social welfare by sequential generalized Lorenz dominance

The sequential generalized Lorenz (SGL) ordering is introduced by Atkinson and Bourguignon (1987) to rank heterogeneous income distributions. It is well-known that this ordering has a strong utilitarian support. In this note, we show that one does not have to be a utilitarian to accept this welfare ordering: the SGL ordering is supported by all increasing SWFs which record an increase in overal...
