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.

Keywords: multidimensional inequality indices; large sample distributions; standard errors. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
