摘要: We derive the sampling variances of generalized entropy and Atkinson indices when estimated from complex survey data, show how they can be calculated straightforwardly using widely available software. also that, same approach is used to variance formulae for independent identically distributed case, it leads estimators that are simpler than those proposed before. Both cases illustrated with a comparison income inequality in Britain Germany.
