Global Poverty Data in Stata and R

I have written several Stata programs for interacting with global poverty and inequality data from PovcalNet, which now are deprecated. These have been succeeded by PIP command/packages, available for Stata and R on Github.

Inequality Sensitive Projections of Poverty in Stata

Povsim is a  Stata command for simulating changes in welfare distributions and poverty under scenarios of growth and changes in inequality (growth incidence). It was developed as part of work on the paper "How Much Does Reducing Inequality Matter for Global Poverty?" (with Christoph Lakner, Mario Negre, Daniel Mahler) doi: 10.1007/s10888-021-09510-w . Journal of Economic Inequality. 2022. Santiago Garriga contributed to the implementation of the Stata Command. 

•  See Daniel Mahler's GitHub Repo for the latest version of the Stata Command and examples.
