We provide a survey of the Kolkata index of social inequality, focusing in particular on
income inequality. Based on the observation that inequality functions (such as the Lorenz …

Statistical physicists and social scientists both extensively study some characteristic features
of the unequal distributions of energy, cluster, or avalanche sizes and of income, wealth …

The existence of an asymmetric empirical Lorenz curve requires a measure of asymmetry
that directly involves the geometry of the Lorenz curve as a component of its formulation …

The most frequently used indicators for the productivity and impact of scientists are the total
number of publication (N pub), total number of citations (N cit) and the Hirsch (h) index …

We have studied few social inequality measures associated with the sub-critical dynamical
features (measured in terms of the avalanche size distributions) of four self-organized critical …

" The book deals with the empirical characterization and dynamics of income distribution
and its related quantities from the epistemological and practical perspectives of …

Social inequalities are everywhere. The Gini Index (g) and the newly introduced Kolkata
Index (k) are two simple indices for measuring inequality hidden in any kind of social issue …

Social inequalities are ubiquitous, and here we show that the values of the Gini (g) and
Kolkata (k) indices, two generic inequality indices, approach each other (starting from g= 0 …

We present here a somewhat personalized account of the emergence of econophysics as
an attractive research topic in physical, as well as social, sciences. After a rather detailed …

Social inequalities are ubiquitous and evolve towards a universal limit. Herein, we
extensively review the values of inequality measures, namely the Gini (g) index and the …
