Population inequality: the case of repeat [PDF]
, 2005 This paper employs data from the 2000 British Crime Survey for England and Wales to discuss ways of illustrating the degree of inequality in the distribution of crime victimisation. In particular, Lorenz curves are presented for major crime categories, i.

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

Bifurcation analysis and dynamics of a Lorenz –type dynamical system
پژوهشهای ریاضی, 2017 ./files/site1/files/0Abstract1.pdfIn this paper we consider a continues Lorenz – type dynamical system. Dynamical behaviors of this system such as computing equilibrium points, different bifurcation curves and computation of normal form coefficient of ...

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.

Analysis of Water Utilization Structure in Huizhou Based on Lorenz Curves and Gini Coefficients
Renmin Zhujiang, 2020 In order to understand the water utilization structure of water-rich areas in southern China, this paper analyzes the water utilization structure of counties (districts) in Huizhou from 2013 to 2017 by using Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. The results

Inequality of Chances as a Symmetry Phase Transition
Entropy, 2013 We propose a model for Lorenz curves. It provides two-parameter fits to data on incomes, electric consumption, life expectation and rate of survival after cancer.

Spatiotemporal Changes in Precipitation Concentration in the Atlantic‐European Region
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study analyses changes in precipitation concentration using ERA5 and E‐OBS datasets. Gini index as a measure of precipitation concentration revealed a gradual expansion of areas with increasing unevenness in precipitation distribution across the Atlantic‐European region since 1961.

The Nadarajah-Haghighi Lindley distribution
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019 : We define a new lifetime model based on compounding the Lindley and Nadarajah-Haghighi distributions. The proposed distribution is very competitive to other lifetime models.

, 2017 Existing HIV care cascade metrics fail to capture whether viremia is equally distributed in a population or concentrated within groups. We applied the Lorenz curve, which has been used to describe disparities in the distribution of income and other resources, to the distribution of viremia in a safety-net HIV clinic in 2012.

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
