When a distribution can be described either in terms of attainment or in terms of shortfall, the classical inequality measures appear to be one-sided. I show that it is possible to find indicators which simultaneously measure attainment and shortfall inequality. I derive one indicator belonging to the Gini family, and another belonging to Coefficient of Variation family. I also indicate how they are connected to other measures.
当一个分布可以用实现或短缺来描述时,经典的不平等度量似乎是片面的。我表明,有可能找到同时衡量实现和短缺不平等的指标。我推导出一个属于基尼家族的指标,另一个属于变异系数家族的指标。我还指出了它们与其他度量的关系。
