inequality: Inequality Measurement, Decomposition, and Poverty Analysis
Tools for measuring income and wealth inequality. Computes the
Gini coefficient with bootstrap or asymptotic confidence intervals
following Davidson (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2008.09.011>, the
extended S-Gini family, Theil T and L indices (generalised entropy
family), the Atkinson index, the Kolm absolute inequality index, Palma
ratio, Hoover index, percentile ratios, and Lorenz curves. Supports
between-within group decomposition following Bourguignon (1979)
<doi:10.2307/1914138>, income share tabulation, concentration indices
for health inequality with Erreygers (2009) correction, Kakwani tax
progressivity and Reynolds-Smolensky redistribution indices,
Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measures including the Sen index, growth
incidence curves following Ravallion and Chen (2003)
<doi:10.1016/S0165-1765(02)00205-7>, and Wolfson polarisation. All
functions accept optional survey weights and work with data from any
source.
