20.7 Essay: How Economic Inequality Arises 1) What is "human capital" and why is it considered an investment? 2) What is "human capital"? How is it important in the determination of a worker's wage rate? 3) How is human capital acquired? 4) How does the demand for high-skilled workers compare to the demand for low-skilled workers? Why does this difference exist? 5) How does an increase in the cost to acquire a skill affect the vertical distance between the supply curves of high-skilled and low-skilled workers?

3. Comparing Gini coefficients of different countries Aa Aa The following diagram shows the Lorenz curves for three countries. Country X's Lorenz curve is shown in blue, Country Y's Lorenz curve is shown in red, and Country Z's Lorenz curve is shown in green. Region I is the area above Country X's Lorenz curve and below the 45-degree line. Region II is the area below Country X's Lorenz curve and above Country Y's Lorenz curve. Region III is the area below Country Y's Lorenz curve and above Country Z's Lorenz curve. Region IV is the area below Country Z's Lorenz curve. INCOME (Cumulative percent) 100 80 60 40 20 0 The Gini coefficient for Country Z is given by Couny X 20 Country Y Country Z 11 III 60 IV 40 100 HOUSEHOLDS (Cumulative percent) 80 has the highest Gini coefficient.
Consider a Lorenz curve given by f(2) = 2" for 0 1. What happens to the Gini index G. I as n+ 00, and what's the interpretation of that result? Select the correct answer below: O As n+ 00, G.1 - 0, denoting complete income inequality. As n+ 00, G.I- 100, denoting perfect income equality. As n0, G.I- 100, denoting complete income inequality. O As n 0, G.I 0, denoting perfect income equality
Which of the following Lorenz curves represents the most equal distribution of income?
Suppose that the economy of Loserville has the following distribution of income: first quintile 15% of aggregate income second quintile 20% of aggregate income third quintile 20% of aggregate income fourth quintile 20% of aggregate income fifth quintile 25% of aggregate income a. From the information provided, please derive a Lorenz Curve for Loserville. Show graphically. b. From the Lorenz Curve you have drawn, find the Gini Coefficient. c. How does Loserville compare to the United States economy?
Suppose there are 3 households in each society. This table shows income for poor, middle, and rich household, average income for all households, and the Gini coefficient for 4 societies. Based on this table, which of the following is true? (Select all that apply.)

a) With the following data draw a Lorenz Curve, putting labels on the graph and writing out data point values. Explain what the Lorenz Curve illustrates, and what the results mean. b) Now explain how one gets the Gini Coefficient from the Lorenz Curve, and what information the coefficient provides.
Use the data from the table below to construct a Lorenz curve. Income Shares in the United States Lowest 20% Second Lowest 20% Third 20% Fourth 20% Highest 20% 5.2 10.3 15.3 22.4 46.9
Q2] Given is the data for Country A and B: Population Fraction Country A's Income Country B's Income bottom 25% 5 million 10 million 2nd 25% 10 million 15 million 3rd 25% 30 million 20 million top 25% 55 million 55 million a) Compute the cumulative income share and neatly plot (using Excel) the Lorenz curve for these two countries with labels. Feel free to use excel template that I have uploaded and copy paste the plot. b) Compute the Gini coefficient assuming the region beneath the two respective Lorenz curve is For country A = 0.2875 For country B = 0.3250
