Water Privatization and Inequality: Gini Coefficient for Water Resources in Chile [PDF]
Water, 2020 This document makes a comprehensive analysis of the inequality of the water market in Chile, measured by the Gini coefficient method. The situation of water rights in Chile is of particular interest because it is a wholly privatized system, where rights ...

The Gini coefficient and discontinuity
Cogent Economics & Finance, 2022 This article reveals a discontinuity in the mapping from a Lorenz curve to the associated cumulative distribution function. The problem is of a mathematical nature—based on an analysis of the transformation between the distribution function of a bound ...

Objective homogeneity quantification of a periodic surface using the Gini coefficient. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 The significance of periodic surface structuring methods, such as direct laser interference patterning, is growing steadily. Thus, the ability to objectively and consistently evaluate these surfaces is increasingly important.

Estimation of Gini Index within Pre-Specified Error Bound [PDF]
Econometrics, 2016 Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a theory and methodology for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified confidence coefficient and a specified width without assuming any specific ...

The role and robustness of the Gini coefficient as an unbiased tool for the selection of Gini genes for normalising expression profiling data. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 We recently introduced the Gini coefficient (GC) for assessing the expression variation of a particular gene in a dataset, as a means of selecting improved reference genes over the cohort (‘housekeeping genes’) typically used for normalisation in ...

On the Precarious Link Between the Gini Coefficient and the Incentive to Migrate
Economics Letters, 2020 We offer an explanation for the inconclusive results of empirical studies into the relationship between the magnitude of the Gini coefficient of income distribution at origin and the intensity of migration. Bearing in mind the substantial literature that
