Max Otto Lorenz (; September 19, 1876 – July 1, 1959) was an American economist who developed the Lorenz curve in an undergraduate essay.[1] He published a paper on this when he was a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison .[2] His doctoral thesis (1906) was on 'The Economic Theory of Railroad Rates' and made no reference to perhaps his most famous paper. The term "Lorenz curve " for the measure Lorenz invented was coined by Willford I. King in 1912.
He was of German ancestry , his father having been born in Essen in the Rhine Province of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1841.[3]
He was active in both publishing and teaching and was at various times employed by the U.S. Census Bureau , the U.S. Bureau of Railway Economics , the U.S. Bureau of Statistics and the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission . In 1917 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association .[4]
He was married to Nellie, and fathered three sons.
