A note on the asymptotic equivalence of jackknife and linearization variance estimation for the Gini coefficient
The Gini coefficient (Gini 1914) has proved valuable as a measure of income inequality. In cross-sectional studies of the Gini coefficient, information about the accuracy of its estimates is crucial. We show how to use jackknife and linearization to estimate the variance of the Gini coefficient, all...
