Abstract:

In economic analyses we often use concentration measures and distribution unequality as a basis for reaching business decisions. After examinations carried out by notion of concentration we understand that definite subjects accumulate single objects so defining their interdependences. As concentration objects may be considered persona,J incomes, national income, accumulation, production fund, absenteeisms etc, and as subjects single men, groups, working organizations, social-political unions etc. In analyses of personal income distribution we most often apply the following measures of relative concentration or measures of distribution. unequality respectively:

- concentration index of personal incomes as a measure of relative unequality of personal incomes and it i,s defined by means of curve (function) called Lorenz' s curve after its author.

- new unequality measures suggested by Hungarian econometricians, E. Frigyes and O Elteto. In an enterprise dealing with furniture pieces production an analysis of personal incomes distributions for 1975 is taken where an example of unequality measures application in practice has been given
