      abstract = {This paper discusses various measures of poverty and  inequality found in the literature. Inequality measures  discussed include the range, the variance, the coefficient  of variation, the standard deviation of logarithms, the  Gini coefficient, Theil's Entropy measure and Atkinson's  inequality measure. Of these the mean log deviation, the  Theil index and the coefficient of variation have come to  be known as the Generalised Entropy class of inequality  measures. As far as poverty indicators are concerned the  Foster-Greer-Thorbecke measures, a class of generalised  decomposable poverty measures, have become very popular in  the literature. The paper also discusses some Stata  do-files that were written in order to calculate poverty  and inequality measures, with application to the Income and  Expenditure Survey data of 1995.},
