Estimating some measures of income inequality from survey data : an application of the estimating equation approach / David A. Binder and Milorad S. Kovačević. : CS11-0024/1993E-PDF

"We give a brief review of the definitions of certain measures of income inequality ordinates of the Lorenz curve, income shares, the family of Gini coefficients, and a low income measure. We summarize some salient aspects of the theory of estimation for finite populations. In particular, we discuss the problem of estimation of means and totals and extend this theory to estimating functions. We then apply this estimating function framework to the problem of estimating complex statistics, such as measures of income inequality and their mean squared errors, for a wide class of survey designs used in practice"--Abstract.
