The Gini index,the dual decomposition of aggregation functions, and the consistent measurement of inequality [PDF]
In several economic fields, such as those related to health, education or poverty, the individuals’ characteristics are measured by bounded variables. Accordingly, these characteristics may be indistinctly represented by achievements or shortfalls.

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 ...

REVIEW OF INEQUALITY METRICS WITH APPLICATION IN INCOME INEQUALITY IN LOUISIANA [PDF]
Economic data sets usually are, by their nature, very large and therefore researchers naturally want to analyze the distribution of the data set and make statistical inference about various parameters of interest, such as means, medians, variances, etc ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Due to the constraints of limited effort and sampling error, observed species interaction networks are an imperfect representation of the ‘true' underlying community. Link prediction methods allow us to construct a potentially more complete representation of a given empirical network by guiding targeted sampling of predicted links, as well as offer ...

Comparison of the Gini and Zenga Indexes using Some Theoretical Income Distributions Abstract
Operations Research and Decisions, 2013 The most common measure of inequality used in scientific research is the Gini index. In 2007, Zenga proposed a new index of inequality that has all the appropriate properties of an measure of equality.

Measuring and explaining economic inequality: An extension of the Gini coefficient. [PDF]
This paper proposes a new class of inequality indices based on the Gini’s coefficient. The properties of the indices are studied and in particular they are found to be regular, relative and satisfy the Pigou-Dalton transfer principle.
