Inequality measures and equitable locations
While making location decisions, the distribution of distances (outcomes) among the service recipients (clients) is an important issue. In order to comply with the minimization of distances as well as with an equal consideration of the clients, mean-equity approaches are commonly used. They quantify the problem in a lucid form of two criteria: the mean outcome representing the overall efficienc...

This paper explores a natural decomposition property motivated by Shorrocks (1980, Econometrica 48, 613 625) and Anand (1983, ``Inequality and poverty in Malaysia,'' Oxford University Press) that we call path independent decomposability. Between-group inequality is found by applying the inequality measure to the smoothed distribution, which replaces each income in a subgroup with its representa...
متن کاملAn Inequality concerning Measures

Although ordinarily a research announcement should be a brief summary of a paper to be published in full elsewhere, papers giving complete proofs of results of exceptional interest are also solicited. Manuscripts more than eight typewritten double spaced pages long will no...

The Gini coefficient has been the most popular method for operationalising income inequality in the public health literature. However, a number of alternative methods exist, and they offer researchers the means to develop a more nuanced understanding of the distribution of income. Income inequality measures such as the generalised entropy index and the Atkinson index offer the ability to examin...
