A Unified Approach to Quantifying Algorithmic Unfairness: Measuring Individual &Group Unfairness via Inequality Indices (2018, background): “Borrowing insights from the rich body of work on the axiomatic characterization of inequality indices in economics and social science [3, 10, 19, 24, 25, 28, 34], we argue that many axioms satisfied by inequality indices are appealing properties for measures of algorithmic unfairness.”
The Normative Approach to the Measurement of Multidimensional Inequality (2004, methodology): “This procedure for constructing an inequality index was independently proposed by Atkinson (1970) and Kolm (1969), and was later popularized by Sen (1973).”
The Small-Sample Bias of the Gini Coefficient: Results and Implications for Empirical Research (2003, background): “…equivalence between the geometric definition and the above analytic expression for the Gini is derived in Woytinksy (1943, pp. 251–253) and used by Sen (1997) in his discussion of income inequality, by Hart and Prais (1956) in their analysis of business concentration, and by many others.4 Other,…”
Multidimensional generalized Gini indices (2005, methodology): “2 For univariate distributions, the most commonly-used procedure for deriving a relative (i.e., scale invariant) inequality index from a social evaluation ordering was independently proposed by Kolm (1969) and Atkinson (1970) and popularized by Sen (1973).”
The Global Distribution of Income (2014, unknown): “For the Gini welfare function, the absolute cost of inequality is mean income μ multiplied by the Gini coefficient G, and the relative cost is simply G (Anand, 1983; Sen, 1973).”
Modeling for the equitable and effective distribution of donated food under capacity constraints (2016, background): “Sen (1973) states that economic inequality can be described either in an objective sense using statistical measures or in terms of some normative notion such that a higher degree of inequality corresponds to a lower level of social welfare for a given total income.”
Lifetime Earnings Inequality in Germany (2014, unknown): “by Sen (1973) may be useful.”
