 0     p50_p10_ratio_mi_eq grapher/lis/2024-06-13/luxembourg_income_study/luxembourg_income_study#p50_p10_ratio_mi_eq   2 major           The P50/P10 ratio measures the degree of inequality within the poorest half of the population. A ratio of 2 means that the median income is two times higher than that of someone just falling in the poorest tenth of the population.

 We create the Luxembourg Income Study data from standardized household survey microdata available in their [LISSY platform](https://www.lisdatacenter.org/data-access/lissy/). The estimations follow the methodology available in LIS, Key Figures and DART platform. We obtain after tax income by using the disposable household income variable (`dhi`). We estimate before tax income by calculating the sum of income from labor and capital (variable `hifactor`), cash transfers and in-kind goods and services from privates (`hiprivate`) and private pensions (`hi33`). We do this only for surveys where tax and contributions are fully captured, collected or imputed. We obtain after tax income (cash) by using the disposable household cash income variable (`dhci`). We convert income data from local currency into international-$ by dividing by the [LIS PPP factor](https://www.lisdatacenter.org/resources/ppp-deflators/), available as an additional database in the LISSY platform. We top and bottom-code incomes by replacing negative values with zeros and setting boundaries for extreme values of log income: at the top Q3 plus 3 times the interquartile range (Q3-Q1), and at the bottom Q1 minus 3 times the interquartile range. We equivalize incomes by dividing each household observation by the square root of the number of household members (nhhmem). Per capita estimates are calculated by dividing incomes by the number of household members. We obtain Gini coefficients by using [Stata’s ineqdec0 function](https://ideas.repec.org/c/boc/bocode/s366007.html). We set weights as the product between the number of household members (nhhmem) and the normalized household weight (hwgt). We also calculate mean and median values from this function.       float
