Income Modeling and Balancing A Rigorous Treatment of Distribution Patterns /

This book presents a rigorous treatment of the mathematical instruments available for dealing with income distributions, in particular Lorenz curves and related methods. The methods examined allow us to analyze, compare and modify such distributions from an economic and social perspective. Though ba...
