	Metron - Storia della Rivista
		For Gini, the two lines were complementary, in so far as he saw statistics as an instrument for scientific research and as a method for the use of techniques in the long processes through which knowledge advances from initial perception to observation and explanation.
		Gini was not the man to sacrifice substance to the requirements of formal techniques, nor did he ever take any interest in the formal extensions which are the mathematician's delight, and least of all in extensions into abstract fields irrelevant for applications to empirical material.
		Corrado Gini was elected to membership in a large number of scientific academies in Italy and abroad; he taught and lectured at many of the major universities in Europe as well in the United States, Japan, India and Latin America.

	Corrado Gini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corrado Gini (May 23, 1884 - March 13, 1965) was an Italian statistician, demographer and sociologist who developed the Gini coefficient, a measure of the income inequality in a society.
		Gini was born on 23 May 1884 at Motta di Livenza, near Treviso, into an old landed family.
		Corrado Gini died in the early hours of 13 March 1965.

	Gini coefficient
		The Gini coefficient was developed by the Italian statistician Corrado Gini.
		The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 100, where 0 means perfect equality (everyone has the same income) and 100 means perfect inequality (one person has all the income, everyone else earns nothing).
		The Gini coefficient is calculated using the Lorenz curve: the Gini coefficient is the area between the line of perfect equality and the Lorenz curve, as a percentage of the area between the line of perfect equality and the line of perfect inequality.

	Tales of Statisticians \| Corrado Gini
		Gini was continuously occupied with questions of measure, such as extending the concept of the mean to distributions having no obvious mean, as well as the parameters of bivariate distributions.
		Gini was a great collector of data, and directed several scientific expeditions studying the demographic and medical profiles of populations in Fezzan, Palestine, Mexico, Poland, Lithuania, and, within Italy, in Calabria and Sardinia.
		It was considered an advance in social justice that the Gini Coefficient for the Philippines went from 0.4881 in 1997 to 0.4814 in 2000, a decline of 1.4% in four years.

		The Gini coefficient is a measure of inequality developed by the Italian statistician Corrado Gini and published in his 1912 paper "Variabilità e mutabilità".
		The Gini coefficient is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds with perfect equality (where everyone has the same income) and 1 corresponds with perfect inequality (where one person has all the income, and everyone else has zero income).
		The Gini coefficient is calculated as a ratio of areas on the Lorenz curve diagram.

	International conference in memory of two eminent social scientists: C. Gini and M. O. Lorenz

		It is intended to be a tribute to the remarkable and permanent presence of C. Gini and M. Lorenz seminal contributions in the research carried out in the last one hundred years on the theme of the Conference by the community of scholars.
		Corrado Gini‘s outstanding Doctoral Thesis defended in 1905 at the historical University of Bologna, was accepted with the higher honors, and was awarded the “Vittorio Emanuele” Prize.

	inequality
		The Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient are typically used to measure inequality.
		Formulated by the Italian statistician Corrado Gini in 1912, the coefficient is the ratio of the area between a Lorenz curve and the 45-degree line to the area of the triangle below the 45-degree line.
		The Gini index is thus a weighted sum of the shares, with the weights determined by rank order position.

		The drawback of the gini index is that societies that have similar average income and gini coefficients can have very different income distributions.
		The gini index can only be used as a comparative figure if the distribution curve of one country or point of observation lies wholly within the distribution curve of the other country of point of observation.
		Furthermore, the gini coefficient is more responsive to changes in distribution among the middle classes and is not as sensitive at the extremes.

		This feat dwarfed the growth of the Gini coefficient in the same period.
		In 1980, after one year of reforms, it was 0.33; in 1992, when the late Communist Party leader Deng Xiaoping again promoted reforms after his famed "southern trip" in the wake of the Tiananmen crackdown, it was 0.37, and in 2003, when further reform measures were introduced according to China's WTO commitments, it was 0.4.
		In a time of fast growth with many poor people fighting for their chance to wealth and climbing up the ladder of success, it would seem axiomatic to lend a hand to signor Gini and his coefficient of economic equality and social stability by quickly opening up the west to fast "colonization" from the east.

	A yardstick for misfortune
		To make themselves understood, economists have popularized a measure known as the "Gini coefficient." Named after Corrado Gini (1884 1965), an Italian statistician and demographer who pioneered studies of the measurable characteristics of populations, the coefficient represents the gap between the perfect distribution diagonal and a country's actual distribution curve.
		A Gini coefficient of 0 indicates perfect income equality, while a 1 would imply that all wealth is concentrated in a single person.
		For all their appeal, however, the Gini and other income indicators only illuminate a narrow slice of reality.

	Gini-Coefficient
		The Gini Coefficient is derived from a statistical formula and expresses the degree of evenness or unevenness of any set of numbers as a number between 0 and 1.
		Thus, lower Gini Coefficients indicate more equitable distribution of wealth in a society, while higher Gini Coefficients mean that wealth is concentrated in the hands of fewer people.
		Sometimes the Gini Coefficient is multiplied by 100 and expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100.

		A Gini of 0 for Maryland would mean that all households in the state had the same income; a Gini of 1 would represent the greatest income disparity, with all income concentrated in a single household.

		It's based on a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 represents a state of perfectly unequal distribution and 0 indicates perfectly equal income distribution.

		The increasing Gini coefficient's a good measure of potential discontent in China precisely because a minority there is correctly perceived as becoming much wealthier much more quickly than the great majority, while that same majority perceives, again correctly, that the game has been unfairly rigged by the minority against the majority.
