Modelling Income Distributions over Space and Time: 1985-2010

该项目的目的是开发和使用旨在克服数据稀缺的插值和外推方法，估计1985年至2010年期间各国、地区和世界的年收入分配情况，促进在国家、区域和全球层面衡量和比较不平等、人均收入、贫困和扶贫增长方面的变化。这些福利措施的可靠估计为政策顾问和其他对社会增长和福利感兴趣的研究人员提供了有价值的信息。

The aim of this project is to develop and use interpolation and extrapolation methods, designed to overcome data scarcity, to estimate annual income distributions for countries, regions and the world for the period 1985 to 2010, facilitating measurement and comparison of changes in inequality, per capita income, poverty, and pro-poor growth, at national, regional and global levels. Reliable estimates of these welfare measures provide valuable information for policy advisors and other researchers interested in growth and welfare of society.
