摘要：

The purpose of this paper is to present several descriptive approximations of empirical Lorenz curves. Each of these hypothetical forms is less restrictive than those considered before. We compare these alternative forms by goodness of fit, F-tests of nested forms, and measurement of the Gini coefficient. © 1990.
