Abstract

The September 2018 update to PovcalNet involves several changes to the data underlying the global poverty estimates. Some welfare aggregates have been changed for improved harmonization, and some of the CPI, national accounts, and population input data have been revised. This document explains these changes in detail and the reasoning behind them. Emphasis is given to the updates to the Indian poverty estimates. In addition to the changes listed here, 24 new country-years have been added, bringing the total number of surveys to 1601.
