Abstract: In the present work, we investigate the applications of cumulative entropy as a tool in income analysis. The relationships the cumulative entropy has with income gap ratio, Lorenz curve, Gini index, Bonferroni curve and Zenga curve are provided. Applications of the results to real data are illustrated.
