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.

Excellent reading (in 🧵) for younger researchers—two papers with near-identical core results, framed in very different ways.
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."

I’m hoping I live to see the day where I no longer see researchers, upon computing the nonrobust Hausman test for comparing FE and RE — often with the wrong degrees of freedom — report p-value = 0.096 and conclude the test is “telling me” to use RE.
