A Multinomial Asymptotic Representation of Zenga's Discrete Index, its Influence Function and Data-driven Applications

In this paper, we consider the Zenga index, one of the most recent inequality indices. We keep the finite-valued original form and address the asymptotic theory. The asymptotic normality is established through a multinomial representation. The Influence function is also given. The results are simul...

description In this paper, we consider the Zenga index, one of the most recent inequality indices. We keep the finite-valued original form and address the asymptotic theory. The asymptotic normality is established through a multinomial representation. The Influence function is also given. The results are simulated and applied to Senegalese income data.
