solution

You can access the World Bank’s World Development Indicators database online to download income share data for various countries, and construct Lorenz curves. Choose two countries you are interested in and construct their Lorenz curves on the same graph. Note that the WDI database does not have data for all countries, or for the most recent years. Also, the database provides income shares for the top and bottom 10 percent, in addition to each quintile—include the data points for the top and bottom 10 percent in your graph. Which one of your two countries seems to have a more unequal distribution of income?
