An Economics-Based Methodology for Analysis of the Inequitable Distribution of Flooding Risk
… based on the economics analysis concepts of the Lorenz curve (LC) and the Gini index (G). These results facilitate comparison of demographics to determine inequitable flooding distributions. This thesis also examines an application of the proposed methodology specifically examining coastal …

Wage Inequality: A Gender and Race Analysis of South African Wages between 1994 and 2015
… Survey. Wage inequality is estimated using the Lorenz Curve, Gini Coefficient, General Entropy class of indices, Atkinson class of measures and Oaxaca-Blinder Decomposition techniques. Quantile regressions are also run to identify potential factors that could explain inequality in the country. …

Assessing and Evaluating Recreation Resource Impacts: Spatial Analytical Approaches
… types, approximating an inverse asymptotic curve. These findings suggest that systematic point sampling using an interval of less than 500 m can be an appropriate method for estimating the lineal extent, but not for estimating occurrence of trail impacts. Further investigations are called …
