Statistical inference for multidimensional inequality indices

Economics Letters, 2010, vol. 107, issue 1, 49-51

Abstract: We use the delta method to derive the large sample distribution of multidimensional inequality indices. We also present a simple method for computing standard errors and obtain explicit formulas in the context of two families of indices.
