Inequality is anisotropic: its intensity is variable along the income scale. Therefore, to focus on local inequalities … coefficients able to summarize the shape of inequalities: a main coefficient, alpha, measures inequality at the median, and two … indexes, generalized entropy, Wolfson polarization, etc.). This method also provides a smoothing tool that is able to show the …

The isograph methodology is developed here with associated distributions, indicators of inequality, additional results … distributions (FC, Dagum, SinghMaddala) are presented along with new proposals, including gb2 subfamilies with p=1/q and p=q, the … completes LaSi with a polarization term of intensity pi and location kappa.

The generalized entropy class of inequality indices is derived for Generalized Beta of the Second Kind (GB2) income … distributions, thereby providing a full range of top-sensitive and bottom-sensitive measures. An examination of British income … inequality in 1994/95 and 2004/05 illustrates the analysis …

Income distributions for developing countries in Asia are modeled using beta-2 distributions, which are estimated by a … method of moments procedure applied to grouped data. Estimated parameters of these distributions are used to calculate … measures of inequality, poverty, and pro-poor growth in four time periods over 1992 - 2010. Changes in these measures are …
