Inferences of associated latent variables by the observable test scores
Abstract Test scores, like the sum score, can be useful for making inferences about the latent variables. The conditions under which such test scores allow for inferences of the latent variables based on a “weaker” stochastic ordering are generalized to any monotone latent variable model for which the latent variables are associated.

Subgroup Decomposition of the Gini Coefficient: A New Solution to an Old Problem
We derive a novel decomposition of the Gini coefficient into within‐ and between‐group inequality terms that sum to the aggregate Gini coefficient. This decomposition is derived from a set of axioms that ensure desirable behavior for the within‐ and between‐group inequality terms.
