Estimation of inequality and concentration measures from grouped observations

Author

Listed:
  • Hoffmann, Rodolfo

Abstract

It is shown how the linear density function can always be used to estimate the within group inequality when computing inequality or concentration measures from grouped observations. The value of Cowell and Mehta's D-measure is analysed and new support is presented for their 1/3 and 2/3 rule.
