The '''Gini coefficient''' is a [[Statistical_dispersion#Measures_of_statistical_dispersion|measure of statistical dispersion]] developed by the [[Italian people|Italian]] [[statistics|statistician]] [[Corrado Gini]] and published in his 1912 paper "Variability and Mutability" ({{lang-it|Variabilità e mutabilità}}). It is commonly used as a measure of inequality of [[income inequality metrics|income]] or [[Wealth condensation|wealth]]. It has, however, also found application in the study of inequalities in disciplines as diverse as [[health science]], [[ecology]], and [[chemistry]]. | The '''Gini coefficient''' is a [[Statistical_dispersion#Measures_of_statistical_dispersion|measure of statistical dispersion]] developed by the [[Italian people|Italian]] [[statistics|statistician]] [[Corrado Gini]] and published in his 1912 paper "Variability and Mutability" ({{lang-it|Variabilità e mutabilità}}).
