The Theil index is a measure of economic inequality that assesses the distribution of income or wealth within a population. It is named after the Dutch economist Henri Theil, who developed this metric in the 1960s. The Theil index is part of a family of inequality measures known as "entropy" measures and is particularly noted for its ability to decompose inequality into within-group and between-group components.
