        AB  - Applying a method suggested by Woodruff (1971), we derive the sampling variances of
Generalized Entropy and Atkinson inequality indices when estimated from complex survey
data. It turns out that this method also greatly simplifies the calculations for the i.i.d. case
when compared to previous derivations in the literature. Both cases are illustrated with
examples from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study and the British Household Panel
Survey.
