Socioeconomic inequalities in health: Measurement, computation, and statistical inference
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between two widely used indices of health inequality and explain why these are superior to others indices used in the literature is explained and the role that demographic standardization plays in the analysis of socioeconomic inequalities in health.

Applications of Lorenz curves in economic analysis
TL;DR: The generalized Lorenz curve has been extended and generalized to study the relationship among the distributions of different economic variables as mentioned in this paper, which is called concentration curve for income and is a special case of such curves, called the concentration curves for income, which is used as a tool to introduce distributional considerations in economic analysis.

Efficient Estimation of the Lorenz Curve and Associated Inequality Measures from Grouped Observations
Nanak Kakwani,N. Podder +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new coordinate system for the Lorenz curve is introduced, with particular attention to a special case of wide empirical validity, and the well-known inequality measures are obtained as the function of the estimated parameters.
