The authors explain the criteria they applied in selecting data on Gini coefficients and on individual quintile groups' income shares. Comparison of the new data set with existing compilations reveals that the data assembled here represent an improvement in quality and a significant expansion in coverage, although differences in the definition of the underlying data might still affect intertemporal and international comparability. Based on this new data set, the authors do not find a systematic link between growth and changes in aggregate inequality. They do find a strong positive relationship between growth and reduction of poverty. © 1996 The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / THE WORLD BANK A NEW DEVELOPMENT DATA BASE nationallicence Deininger Klaus aut Squire Lyn aut The World Bank Economic Review Oxford University Press 10/3(1996-09), 565-591 0258-6770 10:3<565 1996 10 wber https://doi.org/10.1093/wber/10.3.565 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 other jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/wber/10.3.565 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Deininger Klaus aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Squire Lyn aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- The World Bank Economic Review Oxford University Press 10/3(1996-09), 565-591 0258-6770 10:3<565 1996 10 wber Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
