A Statistical Characterization of Median-Based Inequality Measures

Econometrics
For income distributions divided into middle, lower, and higher regions based on scalar median cut-offs, this paper establishes the asymptotic distribution properties—including explicit empirically applicable variance formulas and hence standard errors ...

Linear Inequality Concepts and Social Welfare [PDF]

The paper presents an abstract definition of linear inequality concepts leading to linearly invariant inequality measures and characterizes the class of linear concepts completely. Two general methods of deriving ethical measures are proposed. They imply

S-inequality for certain product measures

, 2013
In this paper we prove the S-inequality for certain product probability measures and ideals in R^n . As a result, for the Weibull and Gamma product distributions we derive concentration of measure type estimates as well as optimal comparison of moments ...

Low‐Power Control Of Resistance Switching Transitions in First‐Order Memristors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Joule losses are a serious concern in modern integrated circuit design. In this regard, minimizing the energy necessary for programming memristors should be handled with care. This manuscript presents an optimal control framework, allowing to derive energy‐efficient programming voltage protocols for resistance switching devices. Following this approach,

Using contextual measures to capture citizens’ perception of inequality in their surrounding environment

Political Science Research and Methods
A growing literature explores the effect of economic inequality in citizens’ surrounding environment on their political attitudes and behavior. This literature typically relies on measures of income concentration or gap-size, which reflect under-tested ...

Interpreting inequality measures and changes in inequality [PDF]

New Zealand Economic Papers, 2015
This paper explores, in the context of the Atkinson inequality measure, attempts to make interpretations of orders of magnitude transparent. One suggestion is that the analogy of sharing a cake among a very small number of people provides a useful intuitive description for people who want some idea of what an inequality measure ‘actually means’.
