Abstract
AbstractThis paper suggests a family of generalized Gini indices of polarization that can be applied to dimensions of human well‐being with ordinal significance such as self‐assessed health data and literacy. We investigate several properties of this general index and characterize it axiomatically. We also look at a quasi‐ordering induced by the generalized Gini indices for ranking alternative distributions of an ordinally measurable dimension. Implications of some of the axioms are also investigated.
