A brief introduction to the economic development and income distribution of Free China is given. We examine some theoretical properties of the most commonly used income inequality measures, the Lorenz curve and Gini index. Two theorems which are concerned with the condition that the Lorenz curve is constant within a parametric family are proposed. We examine the effect on the Gini index when some changes are made in income distribution. We also check whether the Gini index satisfies principles proposed by Dalton in 1920. The income distributions of Free China (Taiwan area) for several years are approximated by two-parameter lognormal distributions. We derive a procedure to estimate the unique corresponding distribution function for a given empirical Lorenz curve. We study statistical inference for the Gini index, and compare the maximum-likelihood estimators and the method-of-moments estimators of a lognormal distribution. We also study some interesting properties for its Lorenz curve and Gini index. Point estimators of parameters developed by minimizing the discrepancy between observed and theoretical group means are given. We discuss extensions of the Lorenz curve and Gini index to the two-dimensional case, and study some of their properties. We derive the Lorenz surface function for a bivariate lognormal distribution. An optimal income distribution form is proposed. The income distribution of a communist society is discussed. Finally, we derive the Lorenz curve and Gini index for an income distribution allowing negative incomes.
