In economics, the Gini coefficient, also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio, is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income inequality, the wealth inequality, or the consumption inequality within a nation or a social group. û收藏 转发 评论 ...

Second, the Gini analysis has some restrictions. No attributes with negative values are permitted for the calculation of the Gini coefficient. This would draw the Gini curve below the X-axis (compare Fig.1) and induce a distortion of the result. There are approaches for a new definition of ...

Definition of the Gini coefficient in the transport demand context Full size image The Lorenz curve is the diagonal of the graph in case of perfect equality, i.e. when both ridership and all costs are evenly distributed along the line. At the other extreme, if all demand is concentrated on...
Gini coefficient as belonging to several alternative families. These families differ in the properties they have. We do not intend to survey the properties of all possible families. We choose to concentrate on one family that is useful in several fields of applications. We will refer to it as...
But both the economics and social psychology of experienced inequality are better expressed by differences between an individual and others. There is a natural way to do this using the standard definition of the Gini coefficient as one half the mean difference among individuals, relative to the ...
In this paper, a reformulation of the Gini coefficient with respect to that proposed in the literature is presented and discussed in light of the negative income issue. In particular, a new definition of the Gini coefficient normalization term, revealing more coherence with the classical situation ...
