| ''Decomposition of Gini and the generalized entropy inequality measures'' |
| ( 2003, Vol. 4 No.7 ) |
| |
| |
| In this article we provide an overview of the Gini decomposition and the generalized entropy inequality measures, a free access to their computation, an application on French wages, and a different way than Dagum to demonstrate that the Gini index is a more convenient measure than those issued from entropy: Theil, Hirschman-Herfindahl and Bourguignon. |
