The government of a small country is planning sweeping changes in the tax structure in order to provide a more equitable distribution of income. The Lorenz curves for the current income distribution and for the projected income distribution after enactment of the tax changes are as follows f(x) = x26 Current Lorenz curve 9(x) = 0.5x +0.5x? Projected Lorenz curve after changes in tax laws Find the Gini Index of income concentration for each Lorenz curve. Will the proposed changes provide a more equitable income distribution? Explain Identify the integrand for the computation of the current and projected Gini indices The current Gini index is given by 2 ſdx and the projected Gini index is given by aſ 0. 0
