DEFINITIONS

Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality. (www.tradingeconomics.com)

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an economic indicator measures the country's total output. This includes everything produced by all the people and all the companies in the country.The components of GDP are: Personal Consumption Expenditures plus Business Investment plus Government Spending plus (Exports minus Imports). Now that you know what the components are, it's easy to calculate GDP using the standard formula: C + I + G + (X-M).(http://useconomy.about.com/od/grossdomesticproduct/p/GDP.htm)

Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. (http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/human-development-index-hdi)
