question 254

Multiple Choice

-Using the table provided above to construct Lorenz curves representing 1990 and 2011, what do you discover and how is this interpreted?

• A) The Lorenz curve for 1990 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 2011. This means that inequality is decreasing.
• B) The Lorenz curve for 1990 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 2011. This means that inequality is increasing.
• C) The Lorenz curve for 2011 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 1990. This means that inequality is increasing.
• D) The Lorenz curve for 2011 is further away from the line of equality than the curve for 1990. This means that inequality is decreasing.
