Over the last years, there has been an increased interest in compiling poverty indicators as
well as in providing uncertainty measures both at national and regional level. In this paper …

We obtain a simple non-parametric estimator of the Gini index when the sample contains
right censored observations. Asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator are studied …

Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a theory
and methodology for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified …

We propose a convenient method of estimating the within-group, between-group, and
interaction components of the overall traditional Gini index from the estimated parameters of …

Economic inequalities referring to specific regions are crucial in deepening spatial
heterogeneity. Income surveys are generally planned to produce reliable estimates at …

In this paper, we consider two well-known methods for analysis of the Gini index, which are
U-statistics and linearization for some income distributions. In addition, we evaluate two …

We propose an estimator for the Gini coefficient, based on a ratio of means. We show how
bootstrap and empirical likelihood can be combined to construct confidence intervals. Our …

Recent models of scientific collaboration show that minorities can end up at a disadvantage
in bargaining scenarios. However, these models presuppose the existence of social …

In the presence of non‐response, it is usual to impute missing values, to reweight
responding units and to adapt the estimators accordingly. The computation of the precision …

We obtain simple non-parametric estimators of Gini-based covariance, correlation and
regression coefficients. We then establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the …
