The random variables under study are weighted average incomes of the poorest and, for some particular weights, their expectations are welfare measures whose integral representations are weighted areas underneath Bonferroni curves. %K Increasing concave order %K Generalized Lorenz order %K Welfare measurement %K Order statistics %~ Universidad de Cádiz
