The new updated version of All the Ginis dataset with almost 7,000 Ginis compiled from household surveys (mostly micro data) from 183 countries or territories over the period 1950-2024 is out.
Ginis are distinguished by being calculated using income or consumption; gross or net income; per household or per capita.
The most significant contributors to the dataset are @lisdata and World Bank's Poverty and Inequality Platform.

Kudos to @jasonmfletcher for the thoughtful discussion, it would be cheap, easy (and viral) to say "prestige is the only thing that matters in econ."

What an outstanding performance from Victor Wembanyama, as he scored 20 of his 41 points in 4Q + OTs

All these plays happened in the final 20 seconds of the 4th quarter + overtimes 🤯
