Inequality and the GB2 Income Distribution

Stephen Jenkins ()

No 2007-12, ISER working papers 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.
