Two flexible functional form approaches for approximating the Lorenz curve.

This paper introduces two flexible form approaches to approximate Lorenz curves. The first approach expands the inverse function of an income distribution in an exponential polynomial series and derives the Lorenz curve from it. The required convexity condition can be imposed using a Bayesian meth...
