An alternative functional form for estimating the Lorenz Curve [PDF]

, 2008
We propose a simple single parameter functional form for the Lorenz curve. The underlying probability density function and cumulative density functions for the Lorenz curve are derived and are shown to have some useful properties. The proposed functional

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Additional insights provided by alternative measures of economic inequality: income inequality in the United States and wealth inequality in the United Kingdom increased more in recent decades than indicated by the Gini coefficient

Research in Statistics
The increase in income and wealth inequality over the last 40 years in many countries has become a major issue in public policy. This paper introduces two curves, which are transforms of the Lorenz curve and their related measures.

Form and Law ‐ Rupert Riedl's Significance for Morphology

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rupert Riedl showed in his “Order in Living Organisms” that morphology can produce law statements and is, therefore, a proper, that is, nomothetic, science. Furthermore, he coined useful terms (interphene and metaphene) and concepts (burden, cadre and minimal homology).

Posterior tibial slope measurement on lateral radiographs shows increased variability, reduced repeatability and risk of misclassification in osteoarthritic versus nonosteoarthritic knees

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The primary aim was to compare the variability and repeatability of medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) measurements on lateral knee radiographs between osteoarthritic (OA) and non‐OA knees, and the secondary aim was to assess their implications for clinical classification.
