Lorenz Curve Interpolation and the Gini Coefficient

Journal of Income Distribution®, 2010
This article presents a simple non-polynomial spline that may be used to construct Lorenz curves from grouped data. The spline is naturally convex and works by determining a series of piecewise segments that may be joined to give a smooth and continuous Lorenz curve.

What Do Analyst Financial Modelling Mistakes Tell Us? Evidence from the Properties of Accounting

Abacus, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel measure of sell‐side analyst financial modelling mistakes, based on whether an analyst's simultaneous forecasts of earnings, book value of equity, and dividends are internally consistent with the accounting clean surplus relation. I find that the discrepancy of an analyst's forecasts from clean surplus (a proxy for financial

Serotonin Degradation and Lipid Metabolism Regulate Human Tc2 Cell Effector Functions

Allergy, EarlyView.
Human Tc2 cells exhibit a metabolically active phenotype characterized by enhanced glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and fatty acid uptake dependent on PPARγ. Alarmins strongly amplify IL‐5 and IL‐13 production in Tc2 cells, supporting a shared immunometabolic program across type 2 lymphocytes.

Real‐world outcomes of ide‐cel and cilta‐cel in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: A nationwide, retrospective analysis in Austria

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary B‐cell maturation antigen‐directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have revolutionized the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. However, no randomized head‐to‐head comparison of idecabtagene vicleucel (ide‐cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta‐cel) is available, and real‐world data suggest differences in efficacy and ...

Dispersal, source and glass chemistry of a third tephra unit within Iceland's Settlement Layer

Boreas, EarlyView.
Tephra layers may be studied to understand the dynamics and sequence of past explosive volcanism. In Iceland, the distinctive Settlement Layer (AD ~877) underlies almost all archaeological evidence for the Norse Settlement and is preserved in soils across Iceland and as cryptotephra overseas.

Circulating Musclin is associated with skeletal muscle function and subclinical cardiac dysfunction in patients with cancer

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Musclin (osteocrin) is a skeletal muscle‐derived peptide that has been implicated in cardioprotective signalling pathways. Its relevance in cancer patients, who frequently experience muscle wasting and cardiotoxicity, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether circulating Musclin levels reflect functional capacity and

An AI‐Driven Biomass Estimation Tool Enabling Population‐ and Specimen‐Level Variation Analyses: A Case Study on Parasitoid Flies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present the first ecological application of InsectMorphoAI, a tool estimating curvilinear body length and body volume from two‐dimensional fly images. Applying this approach to tachinid flies from a Mediterranean forest near Rome, Italy, we quantified species composition, abundance, body size, body proportions, and biomass proxies in assemblages ...

The role of structural transformation in regional convergence in Japan: 1874–2008

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Japan's regional convergence of productivity levels throughout the twentieth century can be best described as a cumulative process of ‘catching up, forging ahead, and falling behind’. Using a novel dataset spanning 135 years (1874–2008), this study finds support for a crucial role played by structural transformation in convergence. The pace of

Does Digitalization Widen Labor Income Inequality?

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a growth model that endogenizes the occupational choice of workers with different ability levels to study how digitalization affects labor income inequality. The framework incorporates digitalization's multifaceted effects on the economy: (i) it influences economic growth through automation, and (ii) it affects labor income ...

A Comparative Note on the Reliability of Inequality Indicator Estimates

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The importance of accurate measurement of economic or social inequality is generally accepted. Estimators of its most popular measure, the Gini coefficient, are commonly criticised for becoming increasingly imprecise for increasingly skewed distributions and small to moderate samples, i.e., two phenomena that we face more frequently today.
