The Theil Indices in Parametric Families of Income Distributions—A Short Review
综述了泰尔指数在主要参数化收入分布中的性质，强调其可分解性在应用经济分析中的价值，并简要扩展到更高维度。
The Theil indices (Theil, ) are widely used measures for studying the degree of concentration and inequality in size income distributions. Their property of decomposability makes these indices especially useful in applied economic analysis. This paper is a synthetic review of the Theil indices for the most important and popular parametric income distributions. Extensions to higher dimensions are sketched.
