On a transformation of the Gini coefficient into a well-behaved social welfare function

Stark, Oded - 2025

Following Sen's (1973) characterization of the Gini coefficient as a ratio between a measure of aggregate income-based stress ("depression" in Sen's terminology) and aggregate income, we transform the Gini coefficient into a social welfare function rather than having the Gini coefficient feature...

In search of neural correlates of social comparisons : an integrative research design

Stark, Oded - 2025

We review the research questions that guided studies seeking to detect brain activity arising from engagement in upward social comparisons, in particular comparisons of a relative variable of interest and a variable-based rank. To streamline, and without loss of generality, we refer throughout...

A demarcation of the Gini coefficient

Stark, Oded; Kosiorowski, Grzegorz - 2025

We specify the domain in the income distribution that includes the people to whom income transfers will not increase inequality in that income distribution. Inspired by Sen's (1973, 1997) characterization of the Gini coefficient as a ratio between a measure of aggregate income-based "depression"...
