About this fileThis file has multiple sheets with data for one or more indicators used by Gapminder. In this sheet below you'll first find an overview of the indicators (measures) and the list of underlying sources. The actual data we use, is found in the sheet(s) labeled "data-...".
This file is also a documentation of the data process. To follow how the data was transformed from the original sources, start in the sheet to the far right, which holds the input data. You can then follow the process step by step, by looking at the formulas in the sheets from right to left, until you reach the output in the "data-..." sheets.

Dataset description:The National povety lines have been imported from a World Bank's Policy Research Working Paper: "Estimating International Poverty Lines from Comparable National Thresholds"written by Dean Jolliffe Espen Beer Prydz in 2016. This paper aimed to address the critiques on Ravallion, Chen and Sangraula (RCS) data which was used to construct the International Poverty Line of 1.9 $ per day by proposing both a new data set of national poverty lines and an approach for estimating a new set of IPLs that addresses the issue of the official line as being too frugal or irrelevant.Their approach was based on estimating implicit national poverty lines by combining national poverty headcounts from national sources, reported in the World Bank’s databases, with corresponding consumption and income distributions from PovcalNet used for international poverty estimates. The approach yields a significantly larger set of national poverty lines, with greater temporal and country coverage. It also yields national poverty lines that are all expressed in per-capita units and that result in poverty estimates that match the official poverty estimates. To implement this approach, they used 1,376 income and consumption distributions from 154 countries and territories available in PovcalNet. For 1,158 of these distributions, PovcalNet used microdata when estimating poverty and inequality, and reports 100 points from the corresponding Lorenz curve (percentiles and percentile shares) for each distribution in the online detailed output. For the remaining 218 of the distributions, grouped data are used for the estimation, and in these cases, only 20 (or sometimes fewer) points of the Lorenz curve were available in the detailed output. For each publicly available Lorenz curve, they generated synthetic distributions with 1,000 points, using the ungroup command included in the DASP Stata Package (Abdelkrim and Duclos, 2007). They have then applied the adjustment proposed by Shorrocks and Wan (2008), which ensures that the fitted distribution matches the observed shares in the grouped data. This approach and adjustment produces synthetic distributions with a high degree of precision, particularly in the cases where PovcalNet reports Lorenz curves with percentiles. The vast majority of national poverty headcounts they uses to estimate the implicit national lines come from the World Bank’s series of poverty headcount ratios at national poverty lines, available in its Poverty and Inequality Database. This data set contains 800 poverty rates at national poverty lines. Of these, they were able to match 699 observations from 107 countries with surveys available in PovcalNet. As the World Bank’s series of national poverty headcounts does not include estimates for most high-income countries, they have supplemented the sample with national poverty estimates from OECD based on relative poverty lines. For the U.S., one of the few rich countries using absolute poverty lines, they included official national poverty headcounts and for Canada, they used the nationally reported prevalence of low-income status. This end up deriving 864 ‘implicit’ national poverty lines for 129 countries which correspond to officially reported national poverty rates when applied to the PovcalNet per capita welfare measure.
