1. What is the environmental Kuznets curve? What factors may make it reasonable? In what cases does it seem incredible?
2. What is the relationship between a Lorenz curve and a Gini coefficient? Give some examples of how Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients can be used as summary measures of equality and inequality in a nation’s distribution of income.
Homework Answers
The lorenz curve is a curve that represents inequlity in a country. The income inequality curve was discovered bh max lorenz and is used till date to compare inequality of various nations. The Gini coefficient is the ratio of the area between the line of perfect equality and the observed Lorenz curve to the area between the line of perfect equality and the line of perfect inequality. The higher the coefficient, the more unequal the distribution is.
Suppose the gini coefficient is 2 for country A and 1.1 for country B. It implies that there is almost twice income inequality in A than B. The smaller the coefficient the nearer the lorenz curve is to the line of perfect equality.

3. The Gini Index Problem How is possible to measure the distribution of income among the inhabitants of a given country One such measure is the Gini index, named after the Italian economist Corrado Gini, who first devised it in 1912. We first rank all households in a country by income and then we compute the percentage of households whose income is at most a given percentage of the country's total income. We define a Lorenz Curve y L(x) on...
