Décompositions des mesures d'inégalité : le cas des coefficients de Gini et d'entropie

Mussard, Stéphane; Terraza, Michel - Département d'économique, Faculté d'administration - 2007

Income inequality measures involve two sub-classes of decomposable measures: those decomposed by sub-groups and those decomposed by income source. The former enables one to compute between- and within-group indices. The latter allows for gauging the inequality related to each factor of income...

Estimating input allocation for farm supply models

Gocht, Alexander - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

When building an economic model for supply analysis the aim is to model a decision making process of one or more agents which fits the observed practice as good as possible. Hereby the modeller is often confronted with incomplete information about the production process; particular crop specific...

ACCOUNTING IN CONTEXT OF COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE, AND INFORMATION

Salvary, Stanley C. W. - EconWPA - 2005

Accounting at various times has been referred to as a communication process, a language, and a conveyor of information. Given this condition, an analysis of accounting in terms of the theories relating to those references would enable an understanding of: (1) how well the parts of accounting...

The source-effort coverage of an exponential informetric process

Lafouge, Thierry; Agouzal, Abdelatif - In: Journal of Informetrics 9 (2015) 1, pp. 156-168

Lotkaian informetrics is the framework most often used to study statistical distributions in the production and usage of information. Although Lotkaian distributions are traditionally used to characterize the Information Production Process (IPP), we have shown in a previous article that the IPP...

A Tsallis entropy-based redundancy measure for water distribution networks

Singh, Vijay P.; Oh, Juik - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 421 (2015) C, pp. 360-376

A measure of redundancy inherent in the layouts of water distribution networks is developed using the Tsallis entropy … redundancy measure is applied to layouts reported in the literature and is compared with the Shannon entropy-based measure. Using … the values reported in the literature, it is shown that there is almost a one-to-one relation between the Shannon entropy …
