Pakistan Journal of Applied Economics, 1988, vol. 7, issue 1, 59-67

Abstract: Kakwani (1980) has suggested the use of Gini Coefficient to estimate income elasticities. This paper shows that co-efficient of variation , another measure of inequality. can also be used efficiently to find income elasticities. Derivation of both the estimators are based on the use of Extended Linear Expenditure System.
