The Gini-Type Functions: An Alternative Derivation

Branko Milanovic

Bulletin of Economic Research, 1994, vol. 46, issue 1, 81-90

Abstract: The purpose of this note is to propose an alternative and intuitively simpler derivation of the Gini coefficient (in Section 1), to show how it can be generalized and how then a number of coefficients (concentration coefficient, Kakwani's progressivity index) are obtained directly from this generalization (Section 2), and finally to use this approach to obtain some Gini relationships (Section 3).
