We propose to substitute the non-deprivation quasi-ordering introduced by Chakravarty … income data from the Luxembourg Income Study for 17 countries in order to contrast the generalised Lorenz and the non-deprivation … criteria. Although the non-deprivation quasi-ordering is less decisive than the generalised Lorenz criterion, it is shown that …
