A Lorenz curve is used to study income distributions (see graph). If x is the cumulative percentage of income recipients,ordered from poorest to richest, and Y is the cumulative percentage of income, then equality of income distribution is given bythe line Y=X. Suppose the real distribution is given by the Lorenz curve defined by:20y =x? +xThe Gini coefficient (G) measures the degree of deviation from equality Y=X for a specific Lorenz curve y is given by:G= A/(A+B).
