| description |
The paper defines the Gini index as the
sum of individual contributions where individual
contributions are interpreted as the degree of diversity of
each individual from all other members of society. Among
various possible forms of individual contributions to the
Gini found in the literature, the paper shows that only one
form satisfies a set of desirable properties. This form can
be used for decomposing the Gini into population subgroups.
An empirical illustration shows the use of this approach. |
