Résumé / Abstract
The Gini coefficient of concentration is one of the most widely used indicators of inequality. We consider a formulation that is easy to implement directly on individual-level data, and derive its estimator accounting for survey weights. As a by-product, we obtain an estimator of the cumulative distribution.
