Abstract

We study inequality in a context of more than one variable by extending a celebrated result of Hardy, Littlewood and P¨olya (1934) to the case of distributions with variable population sizes, whose individuals differ in many characteristics besides income. A new ordering between rectangular matrices, representing such distributions, is provided and characterized by convexity theory
