Teacher Allocation and Equity in Malaysian Schools [PDF]
Although inequalities in education are relatively well researched, little attention is given to the inequalities in the educational resources used in education. This is clearly a shortcoming in the course of providing equitable education to all.

Measuring gini coefficient of education: the Indonesian cases [PDF]
While income inequality in third world countries has aggressively been commented and studied extensively, little analysis is relatively available on measuring inequality in other dimensions of human development.

Axiomatic characterization of the Gini coefficient and Lorenz. [PDF]
This paper is concerned with distributions of income and the ordering of related Lorenz curves. By introducing appropriate preference relations on the set of Lorenz curves, two altenative axiomatic characterization of Lorenz curve orderings are proposed.

Linking Yitzhaki’s and Dagum’s Gini Decompositions [PDF]
In this article we show that the Gini coefficient is simultaneously decomposable both by sources of income and by populations of income receivers for non-overlapping income distributions: the so-called first-best Gini multi-decomposition.

Measuring inequality of well-being with a correlation-sensitive multidimensional Gini index [PDF]
We propose to measure inequality of well-being with a multidimensional generalization of the Gini coefficient. We derive two inequality indices from their underlying social evaluation functions.

Distributional effects of direct payments in Switzerland [PDF]
The switch from market-support to direct payments in Switzerland had impacts on the income distribution among farmers. In this paper, the distributional effect of the switch as a whole and of the different kinds of direct payments are elaborated through ...

A Note on the Interpretation and Application of the Gini Coefficient [PDF]
We show that the Gini coefficient is a simple linear transformation of the center of gravity of income distribution. The new derivation and inequality decomposition methods are applied to income data for Korea in order to analyze the distributional ...
