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 ...

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.
