Inequality and the GB2 income distribution
Stephen Jenkins
No 2007-12, ISER Working Paper Series from Institute for Social and Economic Research
Abstract:
The generalized entropy class of inequality indices is derived for Generalized Beta of the Second Kind (GB2) income distributions, thereby providing a full range of top-sensitive and bottom-sensitive measures. An examination of British income inequality in 1994/95 and 2004/05 illustrates the analysis.
