| Abstract: | We propose a simple single parameter functional form for the Lorenz curve. The new specification is fitted to existing data sets and is shown to provide a better fit than existing single parameter Lorenz curves for the given data. |
| Keywords: | Gini coefficient Lorenz curve Parametric form |
