A consistent dataset for the net income distribution for 190 countries and aggregated to 32 geographical regions from 1958 to 2015
Abstract. Data on income distributions within and across countries are becoming increasingly important for informing analysis of income inequality and understanding the distributional consequences of climate change. While datasets on income distribution collected from household surveys are available for multiple countries, these datasets often do not represent the same concept of inequality (or income concept) and therefore make comparisons across countries, over time and across datasets difficult. Here, we present a consistent dataset of income distributions across 190 countries from 1958 to 2015 measured in terms of net income. We complement the observed values in this dataset with values imputed from a summary measure of the income distribution, specifically the Gini coefficient. For the imputation, we use a recently developed nonparametric principal-component-based approach that shows an excellent fit to data on income distributions compared to other approaches. We also present another version of this dataset aggregated from the country level to 32 geographical regions. Our dataset is developed for the purpose of calibrating models such as integrated human–Earth system models with detailed data on income distributions. This dataset will enable more robust analysis of income distribution at multiple scales. The latest version of our data are available on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7093997 (Narayan et al., 2022b).

期刊介绍:
Earth System Science Data (ESSD) is an international, interdisciplinary journal that publishes articles on original research data in order to promote the reuse of high-quality data in the field of Earth system sciences. The journal welcomes submissions of original data or data collections that meet the required quality standards and have the potential to contribute to the goals of the journal. It includes sections dedicated to regular-length articles, brief communications (such as updates to existing data sets), commentaries, review articles, and special issues. ESSD is abstracted and indexed in several databases, including Science Citation Index Expanded, Current Contents/PCE, Scopus, ADS, CLOCKSS, CNKI, DOAJ, EBSCO, Gale/Cengage, GoOA (CAS), and Google Scholar, among others.
