DEPRIVATION, SATISFACTION AND DUAL EXPRESSIONS OF GINI RELATED MEASURES OF INEQUALITY, MOBILITY AND CONVERGENCE.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper starts by presenting simple ways of computing the Gini index. We emphasize the dual ways of defining the Gini index and the possibility of expressing this index in terms of deprivation and satisfaction. These additional interpretations are then extended to the measurement of distributional change and convergence.
