Measuring Inequality: Pareto's Ambiguous Contribution
回顾了围绕帕累托指数α的争论，认为帕累托并未对不平等测量标准做出贡献，需用其他参数评价其工作。
Pareto was probably the first economist to suggest a way of measuring the inequality of incomes. But the interpretation of his index α came to be an object of contrasting judgments. This paper offers a reconstruction of the debate that involved Pareto's index, aimed at clarifying his thought on the question. The thesis is that Pareto has not made any contribution to the criteria for measuring inequality and, as such, has to be evaluated using other parameters.
