curves which was proved to characterize two separate systems of nested subfamilies of inequality measures. This paper uses … the obtained characterization results to arrange the members of two different generalized Gini families of inequality … ranking of a set of Lorenz curves. From the weight-functions of these inequality measures we obtain intuitive interpretations …
