The Gini Coefficient Reveals More [PDF]
We revisit the well-known decomposition of the Gini coefficient into betweengroups, within-groups and overlap terms in the context of two groups in which the incomes in one group may be scaled and that group’s population weight modified.

About the exact and asymptotic distribution of the Gini coefficient
Revista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2010 In this paper we deal with the distribution of the Gini Concentration Index (G). We derive its exact sample distribution which is useful only for small sample sizes and basing on the classic results for L-statistics of Egorov and Nevronov we prove the ...

On the General Deviation Measure and the Gini coefficient
International Journal of Economic Theory, 2023 AbstractThe General Deviation Measure introduces a progressive definition for financial risk measurement, which presents an alternative to the Coherent Risk Measure. This definition replaces the Translation Invariance and Monotonicity axioms with the Shift Invariance and Nonnegativity axioms, and it includes the Mean Absolute Deviation measure and ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the determinants of firms' propensity to adopt green buildings in the Euro Stoxx 300 and the S&P 500 indices, during 2012–2023. Using random forest binary classifiers, we assess the relative importance of financial, sectoral, geographic, and climate governance predictors and uncover nonlinear relationships often overlooked ...

Income stratification and between-group inequality [PDF]
, 2013 The paper shows explicitly how the overlapping of groups impacts between-group inequality by generalizing a result on the group-wise decomposition of the Gini index to more than two groups.
