Hi everyone! Version 9.4 of the SWIID is now available! This new release:

adds to its source data 5494 new Ginis since version 9.3, including newly available LIS data on Austria, China, Norway, Peru, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Chile; and
includes estimates of market and disposable income inequality for 54 more country-years than version 9.3.

For more details, you can check out the all the R and Stan code used to generate the estimates in the SWIID GitHub repository. As always, I encourage users of the SWIID to email me with their comments, questions, and suggestions.
