Resource and Energy Economics, 2010 The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it exhibits that standard tools in themeasurement of income inequality, such as the Lorenz curve and the Gini-index,can successfully be applied to the issues of inequality measurement of carbonemissions and the equity of abatement policies across countries.

An Exponential Family of Lorenz Curves [PDF]
Southern Economic Journal, 2001 A new method for building parametric‐functional families of Lorenz curves, generated from an initial Lorenz curve (which satisfies some regularity conditions), is presented. The method is applied to the exponential family since they use the exponential Lorenz curves as their generating curves.

Quantile versions of the Lorenz curve
Electronic Journal of Statistics, 2016 The classical Lorenz curve is often used to depict inequality in a population of incomes, and the associated Gini coefficient is relied upon to make comparisons between different countries and other groups. The sample estimates of these moment-based concepts are sensitive to outliers and so we investigate the extent to which quantile-based definitions ...

Estimating Lorenz and Concentration Curves [PDF]
The Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2016 Lorenz and concentration curves are widely used tools in inequality research. In this article, I present a new command, lorenz, that estimates Lorenz and concentration curves from individual-level data and, optionally, displays the results in a graph.

Characterizing compressibility with Lorenz curves [PDF]
2011 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory Proceedings, 2011 This paper revisits earlier work on rate distortion behavior of sparse sources, namely it highlights the fact that a graphical sparsity characterization proposed in [1] is a Lorenz curve, a tool for summarizing income inequality that has been used by economists for over a century. The Lorenz curve associated to a memoryless source can be used to obtain

Strassen's LIL for the Lorenz Curve
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1996 The authors prove Strassen's law of the iterated logarithm for the Lorenz process assuming that the underlying d.f. \(F\) and its inverse \(F^{-1}\) are continuous and the moment \(EX^{2+u}\) is finite for some \(u>0\). Previously, the first author, \textit{S. Csörgö} and \textit{L.
