Stark, Oded - 2020
We offer an explanation for the inconclusive results of empirical studies into the relationship between the magnitude of the Gini coefficient of income distribution at origin and the intensity of migration. Bearing in mind the substantial literature that identifies relative deprivation as an...

On a transformation of the Gini coefficient into a well-behaved social welfare function
Stark, Oded - 2025
Following Sen's (1973) characterization of the Gini coefficient as a ratio between a measure of aggregate income-based stress ("depression" in Sen's terminology) and aggregate income, we transform the Gini coefficient into a social welfare function rather than having the Gini coefficient feature...

Why reducing relative deprivation but not reducing income inequality might bring down COVID-19 infections
Stark, Oded - In: Journal of government and economics : JGE 4 (2021), pp. 1-7
We examine an assumed link between reducing inequality in income distribution, namely reducing the Gini coefficient on one hand, and improving public health in general and lowering the incidence and severity of COVID-19 in particular on the other hand. The Gini coefficient can be shown to...
