This paper presents a methodology for comparing income rank volatility profiles over time and across distributions.
While most of the existing measures are affected by changes in marginal distributions, this paper
proposes a framework based on individuals’ relative positions in the distribution that is neutral to structural

M?kpang (loosely translated as “eating broadcasts”) is a compound word made of the verb mokta (eating) and the noun pangsong (broadcasting). The term m?kpang is used to describe the activities of Broadcasting Jockeys (BJs) who televise themselves while eating online and is generally broadcasted every night, lasting one to three hours. The m?kpang shows are interesting from many points of view. The food and the diners are both the stars of these shows. BJs usually follow at least one of the three rules: ppalli mokki (eat fast), manhi mokki (eat a lot) and masikke mokki (enjoy eating).
