Figure 33.3 illustrate four different Lorenz curves.Assume Brazil has a larger Gini coefficient than the United States.If the income distribution for the United States is represented by curve C, which curve would most likely represent the income distribution for Brazil?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A country with a larger Gini coefficient has a more unequal income distribution. Curve D represents the most unequal income distribution among the four given Lorenz curves, therefore it is the most likely to represent income distribution for Brazil.
