Abstract: AbstractIn this paper we apply the generating function to obtain the density of the overall sample. This density is called mix density and is proportional to the geometric mean of the subgroups densities. This approach can be use to measure the polarization when it is understood as an economic distance between distributions. An empirical illustration is provided using the data from the Spanish Household Expenditure Survey corresponding to the regions of Andalucía and Cataluña, elaborated by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) for the year 1999.
