Gini Coefficients in Various Statistical Distribution
Dear Census and Statistics Department,
Greeting again. I wonder if your side can compute the Gini coefficients in term of various statistical distribution as listed in Table 9.1 - Lorenz curves and Gini indices of Classical Income Distributions of page 173 of the book “Modeling Income Distributions and Lorenz Curves”, instead of just always uniform distribution as in your publication.
If so, grateful if you would let us have a copy of the related table, but if cannot compute, please let us the explanation.
DeMartin Ho
