  <dc:title>Inequality Measurement, Decomposition, and Poverty Analysis</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package inequality version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Tools for measuring income and wealth inequality. Computes the
    Gini coefficient with bootstrap or asymptotic confidence intervals
    following Davidson (2009) &lt;doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2008.09.011&gt;, 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)
    &lt;doi:10.2307/1914138&gt;, 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)
    &lt;doi:10.1016/S0165-1765(02)00205-7&gt;, and Wolfson polarisation. All
    functions accept optional survey weights and work with data from any
    source.</dc:description>
