The exact distribution of the ratio X/Y is derived when X and Y are gamma and Levy random variables distributed independently of each other. Extensive tabulations of the associated percentage points are also given.

This article analyzes the mathematical connections between two kinds of inequality: inequality between persons (e.g., income inequality) and inequality between subgroups (e.g., racial inequality). The authors define a general inequality parameter in two-parameter continuous distributions. This...

It is shown that the total amount of income earned during a reference period can be expressed as the products of components of bivariate Pareto distributions. The exact distribution of the total amount of income P = XY and the corresponding moment properties are derived when (X, Y ) follows...
