Gini, Deprivation and Complaints
Recent insights from the philosopher Larry Temkin have suggested a new basis for the measurement of income inequality, founded on the notion of individual complaints. about income distribution. Under certain specifications of the relationship between complaints and personal incomes it can be shown that a concept similar to the concept of deprivation then emerges. In turn deprivation is related ...
متن کاملMultidimensional Generalized Gini Indices
The axioms used to characterize the generalized Gini social evaluation orderings for one-dimensional distributions are extended to the multidimensional attributes case. A social evaluation ordering is shown to have a two-stage aggregation representation if these axioms and a separability assumption are satisfied. In the first stage, the distributions of each attribute are aggregated using gener...
متن کاملThe Gini Index and Measures of Inequality
The Gini index is a summary statistic that measures how equitably a resource is distributed in a population; income is a primary example. In addition to a self-contained presentation of the Gini index, we give two equivalent ways to interpret this summary statistic: first in terms of the percentile level of the person who earns the average dollar, and second in terms of how the lower of two ran...
متن کاملThe Gini Index of Speech
In which representation is speech most sparse? Time-scale? Time-frequency? Which window generator and length should be used to create the sparsest decomposition? To answer these questions, we propose the Gini index, which is twice the area between the Lorenz curve and the 45 degree line, as a measure of signal sparsity. The Gini index, introduced in 1912, is one of the most common measures of i...
متن کاملLogarithmic Convexity of Gini Means
where x and y are positive variables and r and s are real variables. They are also called sum mean values. There has been a lot of literature such as [3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, 21] and the related references therein about inequalities and properties of Gini means. The aim of this paper is to prove the monotonicity and logarithmic convexity of Gini means G(r, s;x, y) and related fun...
