Transfers, Income Increments and Leaky Bucket Comparisons for the Gini Index of Income Inequality

Sattinger, Michael - 2021

The paper uses an alternative expression for the Gini Index to derive the effects of transfers and increments of income on the Gini Index. The results support Gastwirth's conclusions (2017) that the Gini Index is not overly sensitive to middle incomes. The results are used to determine the level...
