New test statistics for weakly Lorenz dominance and weakly generalised Lorenz dominance are proposed, and some asymptotic properties of test statistics are obtained. The simulation results show that our test statistics can improve test power in comparison with the non-smoothed empirical methods. Finally, we apply our inference framework to an actual example.
