18 p, 299.0 KB On a property of Lorenz curves with monotone elasticity and its application to the study of inequality by using tax data / Sordo Díaz, Miguel Ángel (Universidad de Cádiz. Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa) ; Berihuete Macías, Ángel (Universidad de Cádiz. Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa) ; Ramos González, Carmen Dolores (Universidad de Cádiz.

The Lorenz curve is the most widely used graphical tool for describing and comparing inequality of income distributions. In this paper, we show that the elasticity of this curve is an indicator of the effect, in terms of inequality, of a truncation of the income distribution. [...]

16 p, 137.8 KB Poverty comparisons when TIP curves intersect / Sordo Díaz, Miguel Ángel ; Ramos, Carmen D.
Non-intersection of TIP curves is recognized as a criterion to compare two income distributions in terms of poverty. The purpose of this paper it to obtain comparable poverty results for income distributions whose TIP curves intersect (possibly more than once). [...]

12 p, 104.3 KB Poverty measures and poverty orderings / Sordo Díaz, Miguel Ángel (Universidad de Cádiz. Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa) ; Ramos, Héctor M. (Universidad de Cádiz. Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa) ; Ramos, Carmen D. (Universidad de Cádiz. Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa)
We examine the conditions under which unanimous poverty rankings of income distributions can be obtained for a general class of poverty indices. The "per-capita income gap" and the Shorrocks and Thon poverty measures are particular members of this class. [...]
