Abstract

By relating the Gini coefficient to a general family of inequality measures, the Gini family, methods of estimating inequality parameters from samples are reviewed. Three approaches to making inferences about unknown inequality parameters are discussed and some large-sample results are presented. Alternative variance estimates are presented and compared in the case of the Gini coefficient.
