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: We consider an entropic distance analog quantity based on the density of the Gini index in the Lorenz map, i.e., gintropy. Such a quantity might be used for pairwise mapping and ranking between various countries… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/econometrics8020026
Abstract: The Gini index, a widely used economic inequality measure, is computed using data whose designs involve clustering and stratification, generally known as complex household surveys. Under complex household survey, we develop two novel procedures for… read more here.
