World Income Distribution: Which Way
Over the past few years, a large number of studies have aimed at estimating changes in relative income distribution both across countries and globally. Some of the studies find the distribution to have worsened considerably, others that it has become more even. One objective of this article is to identify and quantify the reasons for these conflicting results. Another objective is to highlight the difference between changes in relative and absolu…
Undernutrition Overestimated
There is only one set of estimates of the prevalence of chronic undernutrition world-wide. These estimates emanate from the FAO and are claimed to be comparable across countries.

The bias is found to be large and to compromise the comparability of undernutrition across countries. Since the i…

In its discussion of anthropometric evidence this article cover…
