Hi everyone! Version 9.5 of the SWIID is now available! This new release:

adds to its source data 7391 new Ginis since version 9.4, including newly available LIS data on Canada, Luxembourg, and Spain and on Austria, Canada (again!), Italy, Sweden, and the United States; and
includes estimates of market and disposable income inequality for 169 more country-years than version 9.4.

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.
