Abstract

The Lorenz curve is an important instrument for analyzing the size distributions of income, wealth and inequality . The problem of finding an appropriate functional form for a given data set or class of data sets is an important practical and theoretical problem. In this chapter we study parametric models for Lorenz curves and some of their applications.
