The Gini Coefficient and Personal Inequality Measurement [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017 The Gini coefficient is the most popular inequality index. It is based on the sum of pairwise absolute income differences, which can be viewed as taking a separate sum for each individual of the differences between his/her income and others', and then adding up those separate sums.

The Gini coefficient as a measure of disproportionality [PDF]
Didactics of Mathematics, 2015 Didactics of Mathematics, 2015, Nr 12 (16), s. 25-34 ; Measures of inequality, properly adapted, often tend to be used as a tool to address the issue of disproportionality. The most popular of them, such as the Gini or Atkinson coefficient, or entropy coefficient can, under certain circumstances, act as measures of disproportionality. However, one must

Group averaging and the Gini deviation
RUDN Journal of Economics, 2021 It is known that partitioning a society into groups with subsequent averaging in each group decreases the Gini coefficient. The resulting Lorenz function is piecewise linear.
