THE ADVANTAGES OF THE DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION AS A METHOD OF GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF SOCIETY by V. A. Kapitanov, A. A. Ivanova, A. Yu. Maksimova

“…This is a mechanism of rank exchange, in which the interaction of rich and poor economic agents is characterized by a shift in market prices in favor of the rich and the greater, the more resources the latter has.The frequency polygons (and therefore the histograms) do not correspond to the first requirement, the Lorentz curves for the second and the third and only the distribution functions correspond to all three of the above requirements, and therefore can be recommended as the main method of graphical representation of the inequality.The curves of distribution functions from five independent sources (ROSSTAT and Forbes summary data, ROSSTAT and Federal Tax Service summary data, data from two sources on car prices, real estate prices), built on a single chart, practically coincided. …”
