A Note on the Relationship Between Top Income Shares and the Gini Coefficient (2010, unknown): “…∑N1 i=1 ∑N2 r=1 (y1i − y2r) N1N2(µ1 + µ2) (P (1− S) + (1− P )S) = µ1 − µ2 µ1 + µ2 (P (1− S) + (1− P )S) = µ1 − µ2 µ1 + µ2 P (1− P )µ1 + µ2 µ = (1− P )S − P (1− S) = S − P (6) This is equivalent to the result described graphically in Atkinson and Bourguignon (2000), pp. 7-8, for the two-class case.”
