Limitations of the Lorenz Curve The Lorenz Curve illustrates the degree of equality (or inequality) of distribution of income in an economy. It plots the cumulative percentage of income received by cumulative shares of the population and includes a straight line to illustrate perfect income equality. Thus‚ the closer the Lorenz curve is to the straight line‚ the greater the equality in income distribution‚ while‚ the further away it is from the straight line‚ the more unequal the distribution

GINI COEFFICIENT The Gini coefficient is a summary statistic that measures how equitably income is distributed in a population. It is derived from the Lorenz curve which plots the cumulative percentages of the income and the population against which it is distributed. The line at 45 degrees thus represents perfect equality of incomes. The Gini coefficient is the ratio of the area that lies between the line of equality and the Lorenz curve divided by the total area under the line of equality. A

not do it‚ and there came a point where they started‚ so their behavior had changed. A change in behavior of this type must be the result of learning. Lorenz’s goslings Lorenz split a large clutch of greylag goose eggs into 2 groups. One was allowed to hatch normally and the goslings followed their mother around. Lorenz had the second group of eggs incubated and then arranged it so that he was the first thing the goslings saw when they hatched. From then on they followed him everywhere. The

Laboratory Coefficients of Friction Discussion: Friction is the force that resists motion and can be determined in either static situations or kinetic situations using the following equation: [pic] Static friction is the amount of friction that resists the start of motion and kinetic friction resists an object’s continued motion. The coefficient of friction depends on a number of factors including surface area and the types of surfaces in contact. The only way to determine a coefficient of friction

Coefficient of Friction- Post Lab Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to determine to coefficient of friction on a block sliding across a horizontal plane‚ and on the same block sliding down an inclined plane. This was done by first testing block‚ and how much weight on a string was needed to move the block at a constant velocity using a pulley system. The block weighed 0.2385 kilograms‚ and needed a hanging mass of 0.05 kg to move at a constant velocity. This means the coefficient of

Konrad Lorenz Konrad Lorenz was well known as a scientist in the field of ethology‚ and his field in the study of animal behavior shaped society today. His theories and discoveries in his life were a breakthrough in the field of ethology‚ but examining the factors that affected his life like his family‚ work‚ and even his dog played an important role in his work. Lorenz and other scientist popularize the study and function of animal behavior and instinct. Lorenz’s research focused the behaviors

III. The Arrow-Pratt coefficient Considering Bernoulli’s proposition that utility matters over wealth for risky behavior‚ and adding the fact that no two economical agents are alike‚ we can state that risk aversion can vary very widely across individuals. In this section we examine the coefficient determined by the two economists Kenneth arrow and John Pratt. In order to develop models for dealing with risk in business‚ economists need precise measurements which can be used in sectors such as
