User:Filip nohe/Growth incidence curve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A growth incidence curve is a curve showing by how much the income of different income groups (quantiles) has grown within a given time period. It is commonly used to analyze the extent to which economic growth has benefited the poor and its effects on economic inequality.

The Elephant curve is a growth incidence curve for the global population between 1988 and 2008

The concept was introduced by Martin Ravallion and Shaohua Chen and has been used in poverty economics and research on inequality.
