Bayesian Assessment of Lorenz and Stochastic Dominance in Income Distributions [PDF]
Hypothesis tests for dominance in income distributions has received considerable attention in recent literature. See, for example, Barrett and Donald (2003), Davidson and Duclos (2000) and references therein.

Robust Lorenz Curves: A Semi-Parametric Approach [PDF]
, 2001 Lorenz curves and second-order dominance criteria are known to be sensitive to data contamination in the right tail of the distribution. We propose two ways of dealing with the problem: (1) Estimate Lorenz curves using parametric models for income ...

The Absence of Deprivation as a Measure of Social Well-Being. An Empirical Investigation [PDF]
The generalised Lorenz criterion is widely used for making welfare comparisons within and across countries on the basis of their income distributions. Experimental studies have challenged this way of proceeding by showing that the principle of transfers,

The construction and interpretation of combined cross-section and time-series inequality datasets [PDF]
The inequality dataset compiled in the 1990s by the World Bank and extended by the United Nations has been both widely used and strongly criticized. The criticisms raise questions about conclusions drawn from secondary inequality datasets in general. The

Asymptotic Distribution Theory of Empirical Rank-dependent measures of Inequity [PDF]
A major aim of most income distribution studies is to make comparisons of income inequality across time for a given country and/or compare and rank different countries according to the level of income inequality.

INEQUALITY WITHIN AND AMONG NATIONS [PDF]
This paper looks at both within country and among country inequality. In the spirit of Dalton[1920] and Atkinson[1970] this paper reports estimates of the welfare loss arising from inequality. The paper also explores the implications of Duesenberry style

Ranking Intersecting Lorenz Curves
, 2000 This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such
