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.

Beyond the Gini index: a poverty-normalized spatial Bayesian model for assessing territorial inequality [PDF]
International Journal for Equity in HealthBackground The Gini index is one of the most widely used measures of income inequality. However, it has limitations in allowing reliable comparisons across areas with different socio-economic structures, particularly in small populations, where the index

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.

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.
