Concentration Measuring Techniques in Banking Sector-Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient
Economic Analysis, 2019 The paper presents the indicators of market concentration in the banking sector with a focus on the Lorenz curve the Gini coefficient. The authors present the results of the empirical research of concentration levels in the banking sector in selected ...

Lorenz Curve Interpolation and the Gini Coefficient
Journal of Income Distribution®, 2010 This article presents a simple non-polynomial spline that may be used to construct Lorenz curves from grouped data. The spline is naturally convex and works by determining a series of piecewise segments that may be joined to give a smooth and continuous Lorenz curve.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The study evaluates the sustainable development of 42 European countries using a multi‐criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach, based on 29 indicators covering the economic, social, and environmental pillars. All three pillars are assessed both individually and in consolidated form to provide a comprehensive view of countries ...

Modeling the evolution of age-dependent Gini coefficient for personal incomes in the U.S. between 1967 and 2005 [PDF]
This study validates the microeconomic model defining the evolution of personal incomes in the U.S. Because of a large portion of population not reporting any income, any comprehensive modeling of the overall personal income distribution (PID) is ...

Gini coefficient as a life table function
Demographic Research, 2003 This paper presents a toolkit for measuring and analyzing inter-individual inequality in length of life by Gini coefficient. Gini coefficient and four other inequality measures are defined on the length-of-life distribution.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

An elementary characterization of the Gini index [PDF]
The Gini coefficient or index is perhaps one of the most used indicators of social and economic conditions. In this paper we characterize the Gini index as the unique function that satisfies the properties of scale invariance, symmetry, proportionality ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT South Africa faces persistently high poverty and inequality alongside a highly concentrated economic structure, raising questions about whether merger control, especially public‐interest provisions, can contribute to poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence directly linking merger adjudication outcomes to poverty remains limited.

Linking Yitzhaki’s and Dagum’s Gini Decompositions [PDF]
In this article we show that the Gini coefficient is simultaneously decomposable both by sources of income and by populations of income receivers for non-overlapping income distributions: the so-called first-best Gini multi-decomposition.
