Using data from a nation's census, an economist produced the following Lorenz curves for the distribution of that nation's income in 1962 and 1972. f(x) = 3x +2 x2 5 5 Lorenz curve for 1962 g(x) = 2 x+ 3 x2 5 5 Lorenz curve for 1972 Find the Gini index of income concentration for each Lorenz curve and interpret the results. Identify the integrand for the computation of the Gini index for 1962 and 1972. The Gini index for 1962 is given by2 ∫ 0 1 ....... dxand the Gini index for 1972 is given by 2 ∫ 01 .......... dx.
The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing nationwide survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau. The ACS provides data on income levels classified by race, gender, educational attainment, employment status and housing characteristics, among other categories. This data is used by many organizations, both public and private, to allocate funds and assess the changing conditions in local communities. According to the ACS, poverty rates in the United States are HIGHER/LOWER for part-time workers than they are for full‑time workers. According to the ACS, poverty rates in the United States are HIGHER/LOWER for black individuals than they are for white individuals. Suppose that the least expensive plan with which a family of four can provide itself a nutritionally balanced meal plan in 1963 is $820 . Given this information, what is the poverty threshold in 1963 for a family of four? poverty threshold: $

Find an existing national coalition active on economic inequality and evaluate it using the following criteria. How does the coalition define the problem they are seeking to address? Is the coalition centered more on the problem, a concrete solution or solutions, or both? Explain. What decision makers does the coalition appear to target? Who are some of the members of the coalition? To what extent is the membership evident of the coalition "drafting for talent and need"? Does the coalition have any high profile champions? If yes, who? How does the coalition keep its members engaged?
