The Gini coefficient is a measure of the inequality of a distribution (often used for income or wealth distributions). The Lorentz curve is a graphical representation of this inequality which is intimately related to the Gini coefficient. The program is straightforward to use. Please consult the help included in the file for an extensive description of the two concepts and how to use the program.
