What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Gini coefficient for household equivalised income from SEDLAC (2020), based on data derived from the New PNAD household survey. Over the period covered, the survey underwent several methodological changes, which are indicated within SEDLAC as breaks in the series, but with limited descriptions: the data from 2016 onwards is based on the 'Continuous PNAD' (PNADC), and is specified as including implicit rent, suggesting that this was not included in earlier data, or not included consistently; the data from 2004 is specified as including the 'Rural North', again suggesting that earlier figures exclude this region. We construct the final series by linking the subseries across these breaks. No figures are available between 1990 and 1993 in the gap between the series; here we link the subseries by assuming there was no intervening change in inequality between these years. For a discussion of the data sources on which SEDLAC is based and their limitations, see Gasparini, Cruces & Tornarolli (2011).
What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Total household income share of the top 1% (excluding capital gains) in 1960 and 1970. A single source series is used, taken from Langoni (1978).
What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Pre-tax national income share held by the top 1%. A single source series is used, taken from WID.world. This 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 the top 1%. 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? Percentage of individuals below 50 per cent of median household per capita income from SEDLAC (2020) New PNAD household survey data. The data from 2004 are specified as including the 'Rural North', suggesting that earlier figures exclude this region; in 2012, the 'Continuous PNAD' or 'New PNADC' series was introduced: we link backwards between the series on these dates. Earlier figures from before 1992 were not included in SEDLAC (2020); we extend the series back to 1981 by linking to data taken from SEDLAC (2018) for this period. No figures are available between 1990 and 1992 in the gap between the first subseries ending and the second starting; here we link the series by assuming there was no intervening change in inequality between these years.
What is the source data that the Chartbook relies on? Gini coefficient for labour earnings of people aged 15 to 60 in the six main metropolitan regions. A single source series is used, taken from Neri (2010).
