The binomial Gini inequality indices and the binomial decomposition of welfare functions

Working Paper 2013-305

Abstract

In the context of Social Welfare and Choquet integration, we briefly review, on the one hand, the generalized Gini welfare functions and inequality indices for populations of n>=2 individuals, and on the other hand, the Mobius representation framework for Choquet integration, particularly in the case of k-additive symmetric capacities.
