A note on a property of the Gini coefficient

Marian Genčev (2019)

Communications in Mathematics

The scope of this note is a self-contained presentation of a mathematical method that enables us to give an absolute upper bound for the difference of the Gini coefficients G ( σ 1 , , σ n ) - G ( γ 1 , , γ n ) , where ( γ 1 , , γ n ) represents the vector of the gross wages and ( σ 1 , , σ n ) represents the vector of the corresponding super-gross wages that is used in the Czech Republic for calculating the net wage. Since (as of June 2019) σ i = 100 · 1 . 34 γ i / 100 , the study of the above difference seems to be somewhat inaccessible for many economists. However, our estimate based...
