Optimization of Gini Coefficient Affected by Imperfect Input Data
European Journal of Business Science and Technology, 2019 Most indicators used for determining the distributional effects of taxes as well as the inequality in the income distribution are based on the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz curve to a substantial extent, although the potential application of the Gini ...
