Abstract: A central problem in constructing multidimensional inequality indices is that of devising weights on the dimensions. There are two different approaches to the problem: the normative and the data‐driven. Indices derived from data‐driven weights have… read more here.

Abstract: Social inequalities are ubiquitous and evolve towards a universal limit. Herein, we extensively review the values of inequality measures, namely the Gini (g) index and the Kolkata (k) index, two standard measures of inequality used… read more here.
