1. Críticas y Limitaciones del Coeficiente de Gini.
Existe un consenso significativo entre los participantes en que el Coeficiente de Gini, aunque popular, es un indicador imperfecto o "malo" para medir la desigualdad, especialmente porque puede ser "demasiado amigable" con distribuciones con oligarquías extremas o no captura bien las desigualdades en los extremos de la distribución.
- Gini is a decent measurement, but it doesnt show the full picture. Consider alternatives like the palma ratio, too.
- I dont trust the gini index. It would be interesting to recalculate all this, because thew gini index is a bad inequality indicator.
- The gini index fails to indicate extreme inequalities. I prefer entropy inequality measures theil, atkinson .
- You probably refer to increasing inequality. But the gini coefficient itself is not a good indicator. Its too friendly to countries with a very small but extremely wealthy group of oligarchs.
- The gini index is friendly to regions where a small amount of people hol a huge share of the comon wealth and income. Entropy inequality measures e.g. Atkinsons are more honest.
- The gini-index is a very bad measure of inequality. It is good at capturing changes from more or less unequal distribution of, e.g., income or wealth, but it can totally ignore the shape of the distribution.
2. Gini: Medida Estándar para Ingresos y Riqueza.
A pesar de las críticas, el Gini sigue siendo la medida más común y aceptada internacionalmente para cuantificar la desigualdad de ingresos y, en ocasiones, de riqueza, con valores que a menudo se comparan históricamente y entre naciones.
- Gini coefficient measures income equality. Higher greater inequality. U.s. Gini was 41.1.
- The gini coefficient - a measure of economic inequality - is about 0.47 in 2025 and going up. In 1929, it was 0.51.
- On socioeconomic equality, e.g. The gini coefficient the most widely accepted measure of income inequality, the lower the more equal on a scale of 0-100 in the european union in 2023 was 29.6, while in the us it was 41.8.
- This visualization compares countries 2024 wealth inequality using the gini coefficient, a standard measure where 0 perfect equality 1 max inequality.
- The gini coefficient is the most used indicator of inequality the higher the gini, the more inequality.
3. Tendencias Históricas y Comparaciones Geográficas de la Desigualdad (Gini).
Se discuten las tendencias del Gini en EE. UU. y otros países, notando aumentos desde los años 70/80 y comparaciones históricas impactantes, como la equiparación con la antigua Roma.
- The simplest conventional measure of inequality, the gini index, is higher today than at any point in modern u.s. History except for a peak in 2018-19.
- Well, the gini-coefficient, a measurement of inequality, in the u.s. Is rather high, so unfortunately not surprising, but still shocking considering one of the un sustainable development goals since 2015 has been less inequality.
- The gini coefficient measures income inequality on a scale of 0 to 1 1 highest inequality the us has a coefficient of .59, the highest it has been since 1934.
- These days, the us has a gini coefficient the most common international measurement of inequality on a par with slave-owning ancient rome.
- The gini coefficient for the united states in 2023 was 0.47 for household income and 0.42 for individual earnings.
- The gini coefficient is a measure of wealth inequality. America is not like you might expect in line with western europe, though. Were in line with russia, south america, and central africa.
4. Alternativas al Gini y Herramientas de Medición Avanzadas.
Varios usuarios proponen y mencionan indicadores alternativos al Gini, como el ratio Palma, los índices de Atkinson y Theil, y el índice Plato, a menudo proporcionando herramientas de código abierto para calcularlos.
- I dont think that the gini coefficient is a good inequality measure.
- Inequality indices are not only about income and wealth. Unfortunately the not-so-good gini index often is chosen just because of its popularity.
- Here is a program which computes the gini inequality indicator, but also some better indicators which would be more sensitive to extremely high wealth in the top group.
- I think that there are better inequality measures than the too oligarch friendly gini index.
- I think that my plato inequality indicator is a good replacement of the gini index.
- Computing inequality measures contains haskell code for computing the following symmetric swap-invariant inequality indicators gini zgini, symmetrized theil rsym, symmetrized atkinson zsym1-exp-rsym and plato zplatofzsym.
5. Desigualdad de Ingresos vs. Desigualdad de Riqueza.
Se subraya la distinción crucial entre la desigualdad de ingresos (más fácil de medir) y la desigualdad de riqueza (más difícil de medir, pero a menudo más extrema), señalando que el Gini puede subestimar el problema real si solo se aplica a los ingresos.
- Yes, those are figures for inequality of income, which are much lower than the gini for inequalities of wealth.
- Also note that income inequality is only one part of the problem and most measures of it very likely underestimate the change, gini especially. Wealth inequality is another, but it is difficult to measure.
- Gini is also imperfect in that it is a measure of income, not of wealth. Weve seen incredible concentrations of wealth in the past few decades.
- Using . Data, i plot wealth inequality against income inequality and the wealth-to-income ratio how much wealth a country has, relative to the size of its economy.
