Dear list,
I have already posted to sci.stat.consult, however, I was hoping that
there might be some experience in the R community on the following question:
I am wondering whether anyone has experience with variants of (parametric) Gini
coefficients (or alternatives) which allow for reflecting/penalising the
skewness of a Lorenz curve?
For my part, I just stumbled across the following:

While appealing to me, I did not find any alternatives, nor any reported use of
this variant; nor is there any account of its liabilities (e.g., strategies to
estimate the parameters).

P.S.: My background is not in economics/econometrics or the like, rather i am
currently evaluating the use of inequality measures for software measurement.
See for some background:

I'd appreciate any hint in this direction!
