What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Gini coefficient for equivalised household income from SEDLAC (2020), based on data from the EPH household survey and, from 2003 onwards, the 'Continuous EPH' (EPHC). We take the average where multiple observations are given per year. The source indicates methodological changes and differences in the range of cities included in the survey. We link backwards over each of these breaks: at 2003, 1998, and 1992 (to data for Greater Buenos Aires alone). We then link backwards again to data from CONADE-CEPAL/Gas del Estado studies, as presented in Altimir (1986).
What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Pre-tax national income share held by top percentile. A single source series is used, taken from WID.world. Data relates to individuals over age 20 assuming resources are split equally within couples.
What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Pre-tax fiscal income share held by top percentile. A single source series is used, taken from WID.world. Data relates to individuals over age 20.
What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Percentage of individuals below 50 per cent of median household per capita income from SEDLAC (2020) EPHC data from 2003. We take the average where multiple observations are given per year. We extend the series by linking backwards at 2003 to a previous vintage of SEDLAC (2016) in which earlier observations from the previous EPH survey are available. Within the 2016 release, the source indicates differences in the range of cities included in the survey. We link backwards over each of these breaks: at 1998, and 1992 (to data for Greater Buenos Aires alone).
