Abstract
The authors use a Berry-Esseen type bound to identify the factors which influence the speed of convergence to the normal distribution of the indices of Gini, Piesch and Mehran. To empirically confirm the conclusions reached, a Monte Carlo experiment is performed for a log-logistic distribution.
