The absolute differentials ordering (ADO) and the relative differentials ordering (RDO) have been introduced as suitable alternative inequality criteria to Lorenz ordering (LO). We provide two new alternative proofs that ADO and RDO are sub-orderings of LO. Furthermore, we point out some...

A parameterized characterization of height-based total extensions of principal filtral opportunity rankings is provided and shown to include, as a special case, a version of the well-known Pattanaik-Xu characterization of the cardinality-based ranking. ***** <p>Se presenta una caracterización...</p>
