Abstract: Abstract Motivated by the pertinence of Pigou–Dalton (PD) transfers for inequality measurement when only one attribute is involved, we show that inframodular functions are consistent with multidimensional PD transfers and that weakly inframodular functions fit… read more here.

Abstract: The Lorenz curve and Gini index are standard tools for the evaluation of inequality in one dimension. However, inequality is inherently multi-dimensional. Extending the Lorenz curve and Gini index to a multidimensional context has proved… read more here.
