我们提供了一个改进的1988年至2008年间全国家庭调查的面板数据库。2008年，全球基尼系数约为70.5%，下降了约2个基尼系数点。中国从底层毕业，将全球收入分配的双峰型转变为单峰型，创造了一个重要的全球“中位数”阶层。在增长最快的国家中，90%来自亚洲，而表现最差的国家中，近90%来自成熟经济体。另一个“赢家”是全球最富有的1%人群。因此，全球增长关联曲线具有明显的仰卧式S形状，在中值和顶部附近涨幅最高。
We present an improved panel database of national household surveys between 1988 and 2008. In 2008, the global Gini index is around 70.5%, having declined by approximately 2 Gini points. China graduated from the bottom ranks, changing a twin-peaked global income distribution to a single-peaked one and creating an important global "median" class. 90% of the fastest growing country-deciles are from Asia, while almost 90% of the worst performers are from mature economies. Another "winner" was the global top 1%. Hence the global growth incidence curve has a distinct supine S shape, with gains highest around the median and top.
