This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and … no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To … ranking of a set of Lorenz curves. From the weight-functions of these inequality measures we obtain intuitive interpretations …

on life satisfaction. The results have negative implications for the still dominant theory of SWB, set-point theory. This … theory holds that adult SWB does not change in the medium or long term, although temporary fluctuations occur due to specific … life events.
