A note on the decomposition of the coefficient of variation squared: comparing entropy and Dagum's methods [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to propose a new decomposition of the coefficient of variation squared. The approach is similar to the Dagum's method when decomposing the Gini index.

On the Measurement of Long-Term Income Inequality and Income Mobility [PDF]
This paper proposes a two-step aggregation method for measuring long-term income inequality and income mobility, where mobility is defined as an equalizer of long-term income.

Robust inequality comparisons [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such

Efficiency Criteria and the Sen-type Social Welfare Function [PDF]
Most of the Social Welfare Functions available in the literature are Paretian, that is increase in anybody's income in the society is welfare augmenting. The Sen type social welfare function possesses this property as well.

The Gini Coefficient and Personal Inequality Measurement [PDF]
, 2016 The Gini coefficient is based on the sum of pairwise income differences, which can be decomposed into separate sums for individuals. Differences with poorer people represent an individual’s advantage, while those with richer people constitute deprivation.
