Hi all
We are working with OECDs WIKI Progress project to develop a set of pamphlets describing the project and indicators of progress (or lack of). The pamphlets that have been prepared so far are here
http://wikiprogress.org/index.php/Is_Life_Getting_Better
and we are currently working on another about inequality, draft here
http://earth.prohosting.com/elecon/IsLifeGettingBetter_Inequality_data.pdf
Would there be any economists out there willing to take a look and review the current working draft pamphlet on inequality? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If you want to look at any of the others, that would be great too.
The main issue at the moment is giving very brief explanations of the Atkinson and Theil measures of inequality. I don't understand these too well.
Thanks very much
