A data science based standardized Gini index as a Lorenz dominance preserving measure of the inequality of distributions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The Gini index is a measure of the inequality of a distribution that can be derived from Lorenz curves. While commonly used in, e.g., economic research, it suffers from ambiguity via lack of Lorenz dominance preservation.

Trade-Off Between Entropy and Gini Index in Income Distribution [PDF]
EntropyWe investigate the fundamental trade-off between entropy and the Gini index within income distributions, employing a stochastic framework to expose deficiencies in conventional inequality metrics.

Some Notes on the Gini Index and New Inequality Measures: The nth Gini Index
StatsA new family of inequality indices based on the deviation between the expected maximum and the expected minimum of random samples, called the nth Gini index is presented. These indices generalize the Gini index.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 We propose an extended version of Gini index defined on the set of infinite utility streams, $X=Y^\mathbb{N}$ where $Y\subset \mathbb{R}$. For $Y$ containing at most finitely many elements, the index satisfies the generalized Pigou-Dalton transfer principles in addition to the anonymity axiom.

The Zanga index in measuring income inequality [PDF]
مدلسازی اقتصادسنجی, 2018 This paper examines the new indicator of Zenga inequality, which is based on the ratio between the lower and the upper group means. For analyzing this criterion, income data of Iranian households during the period of 1378-1396 was used.

Estimating Disease Risk Using Lorenz Curve and Negative Binomial Regression [PDF]
المجلة المصرية للسکـان وتنظيم الأسرة, 2004 The paper proposes a parametric approach to estimate the Lorenz curve and the Gini index in the context of describing exposure-disease association. Nonparametric bootstrap statistical inference method is employed for generating estimates of statistical ...

Income Inequality of the Brazilian Amazon Population
Revista Brasileira de Estudos Regionais e Urbanos, 2023 The main objective of this study is to evaluate the behavior of income distribution in the Amazonian States of Brazil from 2004 to 2015. As complementary objectives, we sought to determine the immediate causes of any differences of Household Income Per ...
