Which of the following statements regarding the Gini coefficient are correct? A. It is the measure of the average difference in income between every pair of individuals in the population. B. It can be calculated exactly as g=A/(A+B), where A is the area between the Lorenz curve and the 45-degree line, and A + B is the area under the 45-degree line. C. The fraction A/(A+B) is an accurate approximation when the population is small. D. If 50% of a large population owned 2% of the wealth each, then the Gini coefficient equals 0.6.

An advantage of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) over the Human Poverty Index (HPI) is that: (a) It adds up separate deprivations for the whole country, then takes averages, and then combines them. (b) It provides the sum of the difference between the poverty line and actual income levels of all people living below that line. (c) It gives the proportion of a country’s population living below the poverty line. (d) It takes into account that there are negative interaction effects when people have multiple deprivations
