Different skew models, such as the lognormal and the Pareto, have been proposed as suitable descriptions of income distribution and applied in specific empirical situations. More wide-ranging tools have been introduced as measures for general comparisons. In this study, we review the income analysis methods and apply them to specific Lorenz models.enLorenz CurveGini IndexPietra IndexPareto DistributionSimplified Rao-Tam DistributionChotikapanich DistributionArticle
