This limited set of quantiles recognizes the tradeoff between a better approximation of the Lorenz curve (more quantiles) and the efficiency of the variance estimates. We also estimated the Lorenz curves at twenty points to check the sensitivity of our results to the number of ordinates and find that Lorenz orderings are unchanged. For a more complete discussion of inference methods used in this study of earnings and income distributions, see Bishop, Formby, and Thistle (1989) and Beach and Davidson (1983).
Frosini (1989, 1990) advanced critical insights to the decomposition of income inequality measures. Frosini (1989, p. 350) observed that "most indices used in practice do not share the decomposition property", such as the normalized ones, which do not belong to the restrictive class of measures satisfying the decomposition condition. He observed that, in general, for the normalized measures of inequality, lb is taken as a primitive concept and lw as a derived proposition. Contrary to this practice, he argued that Iw should be a primitive concept and lb the residual.
For a more complete discussion of inference methods used in this study of earnings and income distributions, see Bishop, Formby, and Thistle (1989) and Beach and Davidson (1983). Our purpose is to construct from sample data ordinal Lorenz rankings of six decades of earning distributions. There are three possible outcomes from year to year comparisons of earnings distributions, dominance, equality, or crossing. Tests for dominance are straightforward and there are a number of competing alternative tests such as the chi-square test.
