title: 'inequality: Inequality Measurement, Decomposition, and Poverty Analysis'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.inequality
abstract: Tools for measuring income and wealth inequality. Computes the Gini coefficient
  with bootstrap or asymptotic confidence intervals following Davidson (2009) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jeconom.2008.11.004>,
  the extended S-Gini family, Theil T and L indices (generalised entropy family),
  the Atkinson index, the Kolm absolute inequality index, Palma ratio, Hoover index,
  percentile ratios, and Lorenz curves. Supports between-within group decomposition
  following Bourguignon (1979) <https://doi.org/10.2307/1914138>, income share tabulation,
  concentration indices for health inequality with Erreygers (2009) correction, Kakwani
  tax progressivity and Reynolds-Smolensky redistribution indices, Foster-Greer-Thorbecke
  poverty measures including the Sen index, growth incidence curves following Ravallion
  and Chen (2003) <https://doi.org/10.1016/S0165-1765(02)00205-7>, and Wolfson polarisation.
  All functions accept optional survey weights and work with data from any source.
