Andrés Álvarez, Economist at Universidad de los Andes, very kindly created a fantastic video tour of CORE’s Income Shock Simulator. The simulator interactively visualises the effects of a household income shock on a country’s poverty indicators and income distribution. It also provides summary statistics related to the country’s income distribution, including the Lorenz curve, poverty rate, and the Gini coefficient. We’re very grateful to Andrés for creating this detailed overview.
