This paper introduces a new Lorenz dominance criterion that allows ranking income distributions according to centrist measures à la Seidl and Pfingsten (1997). In doing so, it defines α-Lorenz curves by adapting the generalized Lorenz curves to this case. In addition, it provides an empirical...

This paper introduces a unit-consistent Lorenz dominance criterion that allows ranking income distributions according to centrist measures à la Seidl and Pfingsten (1997). In doing so, it defines α -Lorenz curves that generalize the absolute Lorenz curve. These curves allow implementing...
