Modeling income distributions and Lorenz curves [electronic resource] / edited by Duangkamon Chotikapanich.
The parameterization of income distributions using Lorenz Curves is a useful technique to analyze the characteristics of income inequality within a given population. It provides a way of describing how data are generated, why the level of inequality is what it is, and how these factors impact poorer...
