  5. Therefore, a lot is at stake in the question of whether world income distribution has become more, or less, equal over the past twenty years or so. It turns out that there is no single correct answer, because the answer depends on which combination of measures one adopts. …. My reading of the evidence suggests that none of the eight alternative measures clearly shows that world income distribution has become more equal over the past twenty years. Seven of the eight show varying degrees of increasing inequality. The eighth…. shows no significant change in world income distribution. Robert Hunter Wade, LSE & Brown University The Rising Inequality of World Income Distribution Finance & Development, A quarterly magazine of the IMF December 2001, Volume 38, Number 4 http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2001/12/wade.htm

  6. We estimate the W[orld] D[istribution] [of] I[ncome] by integrating individual income distributions for 138 countries between 1970 and 2000. . Poverty rates and headcounts are reported for four specific poverty lines. [[Poverty] Rates in 2000 were between one-third and one-half of what they were in 1970 for all four lines. There were between 250 and 500 million fewer poor in 2000 than in 1970. We estimate eight indexes of income inequality implied by our world distribution of income. All of them show reductions in global inequality during the 1980s and 1990s.
