On a control chart for the Gini index with simulations

Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2018
In this work we suggest the use of the Gini index on control charts. The asymptotic properties of Gini index are presented and the control charts based on appropriate confidence intervals are const...

The He Gini Index: An Overview

Journal of Economic Research & Reviews, 2023
Ever thought about why the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer? Well, this is because of the unequal distribution of resources in the population of a particular country. The primary example of resources which is not being equally distributed is income.

Gini index estimation for lifetime data

Lifetime Data Analysis, 2016
Lifetime data is often right-censored. Recent literature on the Gini index estimation with censored data focuses on independent censoring. However, the censoring mechanism is likely to be dependent censoring in practice. This paper proposes two estimators of the Gini index under independent censoring and covariate-dependent censoring, respectively. The

Practical modified Gini index

Applied Economics Letters, 2013
The Gini index is the most common method for estimating the level of income inequality in countries. In this article, we suggest a simple modification that takes into account the moderating effect of in-kind government benefits. Unlike other studies that use micro-level data that are rarely available for many countries or over a period of time, the ...

The Estimation of the Lorenz Curve and Gini Index

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1972
M OST of the measures of income inequality are derived from the Lorenz curve; indeed Morgan (1962) states that the Gini index is the best single measure of inequality. The present article reviews some of the theoretical properties of the Lorenz curve, relates them to characteristics of the frequency function underlying the income distribution and ...

The Gini Index as a Coefficient of Variation

The coefficient of variation, which measures the variability of a distribution from its mean, is not uniquely defined in the multidimensional case, and so is the multidimensional Gini index, which measures the inequality of a distribution in terms of the mean differences among its observations.

Insurance Ratemaking and a Gini Index

Journal of Risk and Insurance, 2013
AbstractWelfare economics uses Lorenz curves to display skewed income distributions and Gini indices to summarize the skewness. This article extends the Lorenz curve and Gini index by ordering insurance risks; the ordering variable is a risk‐based score relative to price, known as a relativity.

Lorenz Curve and Gini Index

Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, 1990
ABSTRACT : This is a review article on Lorenz Curve (LC) and Gini index (GI). The focus here is on those aspects of LC and GI which are not reviewed elsewhere. We present here both mathematical and statistical aspects of LC and GI, which include their relevance in economic theory and reliability, and bounds, approximations, extensions
