Consider five individuals, of whom three have zero income and two have $10,000 each. Based onGini's original formula (G'), income inequality in this group is [gini).Enter a number to two decimal places and add the zero, as in 0.25Consider five individuals, of whom three have zero income and two have $10,000 each. Draw theLorenz curve. Note that the area under the line of perfect equality is 0.5. The area below the Lorenzcurve is. The area between the Lorenz curve and the line of perfect equality is.

In season three of the TV show “The West Wing,”the federal government considers redefining thenational poverty measure in a way that wouldclassify an additional 4 million people as poor.The president worries that his administration willbe criticized for leading the country into greaterpoverty. Explain whether this change would havereflected a shift in an absolute measure of poverty,a relative measure of poverty, or whether it cannot be known. Finally, explain why all else equal,the president is not responsible for causing greaterpoverty
True or false Recall we visited the Kabura family in Burundi by taking a stroll down Gapminder’s Dollar Street. The dollar values assigned to each household’s income by Gapminder’s Dollar Street account for the kids’ consumption in the household by using an adult equivalence scale. If we increase the incomes of everyone in an economy by an exact proportion, the Gini coefficient of inequality will increase by that same proportion.
As the article notes, Atkinson argued that "[inequality] cannot, in general, be measured without introducing social judgments. Measures such as the Gini coefficient are not purely 'statistical'....” He specifically saw the Atkinson Index as a way of assessing inequality in line with Rawls' vision of distributive justice. Based on what you know about Rawls and the Atkinson Index, explain how they are connected.
4. The Census Bureau recently created a new sup- plemental poverty measure, which defines the poverty threshold as the amount of money that the poorest third of Americans spend on food, clothing, shelter, and utilities. Journalist Robert Samuelson [2010] proposed the following thought experiment: Suppose that all Americans doubled their incomes tomorrow, and suppose that their spending on food, clothing, shelter, and utilities doubled as a result. What would happen to the number of people in poverty ac- cording to this new supplemental measure? Does this strike you as a desirable measure?
Please answer the two multiple-choice questions attached.
Your friend points to the wages earned by your economics professor and her teaching assistant (TA) as an example of income inequality. Your tenured professor earns $120,000$120,000, drives a BMW, and vacations in Europe, whereas your TA earns $10,000$10,000 per year, rides a bike, and vacations at his mom's house. Because they both teach for a living, your friend argues that this income inequality is not just. Which reply uses the economic life cycle to respond to your friend's argument? Your professor has more bargaining power than your TA and, therefore, has higher earnings. Your professor and TA earn different amounts now but they will have similar earnings over the course of their lives. Your professor was once a TA, and your TA will one day make better money. Your professor has many more responsibilities than your TA and is, therefore, paid more. Older workers typically have more expenses than younger workers due to the high cost of healthcare and other costs…

Among the properties of the inequality indices, we have seen the Pigou Dalton principle. Do You think that Kuznets Ratios have this property? Explain
A typical Lorenz Curve, extracted from the Textbook, is shown below: e 100 Lorenz curve (actual distribution) 60 Perfect equality 40 B 20 Complete inequality D 0 20 40 60 80 100 Percentage of households Point d on the curve is best explained as 55% of households earn about 55% of the national income 50% of households earn about 80% of the national income 80% of households earn about 80% of the national income 80% of households earn about 55% of the national income Percentage of Income 80
What is a "quintile"? Provide and explain one example of how this concept is used in the discussion of income distribution.
Answer this question under 100 words and draw a Lorenz graph to explain it. In the Financial Times’ article “How the pandemic is worsening inequality” (31 Dec 2020) we can read: “About 600m people work globally in the hardest-hit sectors such as hospitality and retail [...]. In addition, the informal economy has been hard-hit – and that is where some of the world’s most vulnerable workers are employed. [...] At the height of the pandemic-induced surge in unemployment, joblessness among people aged 15 to 24 in OECD countries was 7.5 percentage points higher than the start of this year, whereas among those aged 25 and over it rose by 3.2 percentage points. Pandemic-induced job losses have potentially long-lasting consequences: people who start their career during a recession experience lower earnings for a decade after graduation. [...] Around the world, relatively privileged workers have avoided the worst of the pandemic’s economic impact. Up to 40 per cent of those in the ILO’s top…
