A Rethink on Measuring Health Inequalities Using the Gini Coefficient [PDF]
Objective- We show that a standardized Gini coefficient that takes into account the feasible range of health inequality for a given health attribute is a better instrument than the normal Gini coefficient for quantifying inter-individual health ...

Rapid and quantitative phage susceptibility test by ramanome
mLife, EarlyView.Abstract Antimicrobial resistance poses an escalating global threat, renewing interest in bacteriophage therapy as a precision alternative to antibiotics. However, clinical translation remains hindered by the lack of rapid and quantitative phage susceptibility testing (PST) platforms capable of evaluating host range, infection potency, and effective ...

An Atkinson-Gini Family of Social Evaluation Functions [PDF]
We propose a class of social evaluation functions and of inequality indices which merge the useful features of the family of Atkinson (1970) and of S-Gini (Donaldson and Weymark (1980, 1983), Yitzhaki (1983) and Kakwani (1980)) indices.

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this second part of our series of papers, we develop an abstract framework suitable for de Rham complexes that depend on a parameter belonging to an arbitrary Banach space. Our primary focus is on spectral perturbation problems and the differentiability of eigenvalues with respect to perturbations of the involved parameters. As a byproduct,

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 Environmental Health and Civic Health: An Analysis of Air Pollution and Charitable Giving
Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of air pollution on charitable giving. We suggest that the burdens associated with poor air quality are associated with a dampening of civic and philanthropic engagement. Analyzing 12 years of county‐level data from the United States with fixed‐effects OLS and instrumental variables regressions, we identify a ...

Robust Inequality Comparisons [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such
