Absolute Lorenz Curve plays an important role for measuring absolute income inequality. Properties of Absolute Lorenz Curve are listed and Absolute Lorenz Index is introduced. Asymptotically distribution-free and consistent tests have been proposed for comparing two Absolute Lorenz Curves in the whole interval [p1 ,p2] where 0,p1,p2,1. Absolute Lorenz ordering has been discussed for some distributions.
