A Note on Inequality Criteria.

The absolute differentials ordering (ADO)and the elative differentials ordering (RDO)have been introduced as suitable alternative inequality criteria to Lorenz ordering (LO).We provide two new alternative proofs that ADO and RDO are sub-orderings of LO.Furthermore, we point out some "paradoxical situations", where these two different partial orderings fail to rank alternative income distributions.
