Averaging Lorenz curves [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Journal of Economic Inequality, 2005
A large number of functional forms have been suggested in the literature for estimating Lorenz curves that describe the relationship between income and population shares. One way of choosing a particular functional form is to pick the one that best fits the data in some sense.

Elliptical Lorenz curves

Journal of Econometrics, 1989
A family of elliptic Lorenz curves is proposed for fitting grouped income data. The associated distribution and density functions are displayed together with the Gini indices. Estimation procedures are discussed. Comparisons are made with alternative models using Australian 1967--68 income data.

Lorenz Densities and Lorenz Curves

2014
Lorenz curves and Lorenz densities are introduced for real-valued random variables with finite and strictly positive expectation. Gastritic’s definition of a Lorenz curve is used. Basic properties of Lorenz curves are given as well as approximation results.

Fitting Lorenz curves

Economics Letters, 2010
Abstract This paper presents a functional form, linear in the parameters, to deal with income distribution and Lorenz curves. The function is fitted to the Brazilian income distribution. Data standard deviations were estimated from year-to-year variation of the income share.

Identification of the Lorenz curve by Lorenz coefficient

Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv, 1981
Die Identifikation der Lorenzkurve durch Lorenzkoeffizienten. — Der aus der Lorenzkurve abgeleitete Gini-Koeffizient vermittelt einen guten Eindruck von dem Ma\ an Ungleichheit. WAhrend sich jedoch eine Lorenzkurve auf den Gini-Koeffizienten im VerhAltnis eins zu eins ubertragen lA\t, entspricht — in der entgegengesetzten Richtung — ein Gini ...

Lorenz Curves of extrema

2010
We study the Generalized Lorenz curves of the minima of samples from a random variable. These Lorenz curves can be used to compare distributions in terms of their variability and define coherent risk measures. The dual Lorenz curves of the maxima of samples from the random variable are also considered.
