On the Relationship Between the Gini Coefficient and Skewness. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSkewness, a measure of the asymmetry of a distribution, is frequently employed to reflect a biologically important property. Another statistic, the Gini coefficient (GC), originally used to measure economic inequality, has been validated in measuring the

A multivariate extension of the Lorenz curve based on copulas and a related multivariate Gini coefficient [PDF]
Journal of Economic Inequality, 2021 We propose an extension of the univariate Lorenz curve and of the Gini coefficient to the multivariate case, i.e., to simultaneously measure inequality in more than one variable.
