Concentration Measuring Techniques in Banking Sector-Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient
Economic Analysis, 2019 The paper presents the indicators of market concentration in the banking sector with a focus on the Lorenz curve the Gini coefficient. The authors present the results of the empirical research of concentration levels in the banking sector in selected ...

Modeling the evolution of age-dependent Gini coefficient for personal incomes in the U.S. between 1967 and 2005 [PDF]
This study validates the microeconomic model defining the evolution of personal incomes in the U.S. Because of a large portion of population not reporting any income, any comprehensive modeling of the overall personal income distribution (PID) is ...

An elementary characterization of the Gini index [PDF]
The Gini coefficient or index is perhaps one of the most used indicators of social and economic conditions. In this paper we characterize the Gini index as the unique function that satisfies the properties of scale invariance, symmetry, proportionality ...

Measuring the Socio-Economic Bipolarization Phenomenon [PDF]
The present paper emphasizes the differences between the Gini concentration coefficient [13] and a new bipolarization index proposed by [20], [21]. In practice, the Gini index is applied frequently to determine the poverty degree of the persons of a ...

Hedging with Stock Index Options: A Mean-Extended Gini Approach [PDF]
One of the more efficient methods to hedge portfolios of securities whose put options are not traded is to use stock index options. We use the mean-extended Gini (MEG) model to derive the optimal hedge ratios for stock index options.

On Calculation of the Extended Gini Coefficient. [PDF]
The conventional formula for estimating the extended Gini coefficient is a covariance formula provided by Lerman and Yitzhaki (1989). We suggest an alternative estimator obtained by approximating the Lorenz curve by a series of linear segments.

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.

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 ...

Sources of Income Inequality in Ireland [PDF]
This paper analyses inequality in Ireland via a decomposition of the Gini coefficient by source of income. Using data from the Irish Household Budget Survey of 1987, seventeen components of disposable income are identified and their contribution to ...
