A Note about Young’s Inequality with Different Measures
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2022 The key purpose of this paper is to work on the boundedness of generalized Bessel–Riesz operators defined with doubling measures in Lebesgue spaces with different measures.

Recent trends in employees’ earnings inequality in Portugal: A quantitative analysis between 1986 and 2017 [PDF]
Panoeconomicus, 2020 This paper examines employees’ earnings inequality in Portugal for 1986-2017 using data from the Personnel Records database. Our objective is twofold: (a) characterize earnings inequality by comparing representative distributions, before and ...

Sociological Methods & Research, 1982 Since unambiguous ranking of income distributions according to their degree of inequality is not always possible, choice of inequality measure must rest on the appropriateness of particular measures for particular substantive problems. This article provides a complete account of one measure of inequality, δ, defined, for x > 0, as the ratio of the ...

Measuring Inequality Using Geospatial Data [PDF]
The World Bank Economic Review, 2020 Abstract The main challenge in studying inequality is limited data availability, which is particularly problematic in developing countries. This study constructs a measure of light-based geospatial income inequality (LGII) for 234 countries/territories from 1992 to 2013 using satellite data on night-lights and gridded population data ...

Measuring global health inequity [PDF]
International Journal for Equity in Health, 2007 Abstract Background Notions of equity are fundamental to, and drive much of the current thinking about global health. Health inequity, however, is usually measured using health inequality as a proxy – implicitly conflating equity and equality.

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems
International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

First estimates of inequality benchmark incomes for a range of countries.
PLoS ONE, 2021 It is known that virtually all inequality measures imply the existence of a 'benchmark income', above which adding incremental income increases inequality, and below which it decreases inequality.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Although distributional inequality and concentration are important statistical concepts in many research fields (including economics, political and social science, information theory, and biology and ecology), they rarely are considered in psychological ...

Transfer Sensitive Inequality Measures [PDF]
The Review of Economic Studies, 1987 Transfer sensitivity has been seen as a means of strengthening the Pigou- Dalton ``principle of transfers'', by ensuring that more weight in the inequality assessment is attached to transfers taking place lower down in the distribution. This paper examines the concept of transfer sensitivity in detail and proposes a new definition that can be usefully ...
