| p99/p2080 ratio fyi Explanation: P99 应该指的是按照财富多少排名，后99%的人所拥有的财富与前1%的富人的财富的关系； P2080应该指的是所谓“2/8原则”，在这个上下文里面是说20%的人拥有80%的财富。 没有找到具体的确切说法。供参考。 |

| Reference: P99/P2080 ratio Reference information: Trends in inequality as measured by the change in the P99/P2080 ratio largely reflected differences in rates of return and savings rates between the top one percent and the middle three wealth quintiles. See: http://www.nber.org/papers/w22704.pdf Wealth quintile: A quintile is 20% of the population. The wealth index involves giving each person in the population a score which represents how wealthy they are based on the characteristics of their household. With this score, you can create five ‘wealth quintiles’ as follows: put the poorest 20% into quintile one, the second poorest 20% into quintile two, the middle 20% into quintile three, the second wealthiest 20% into quintile four and the wealthiest 20% into quintile five. See: http://www.presentationofdata.com/what-are-wealth-quintiles/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 12 mins (2018-07-22 13:42:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In other words, the P99/P2080 ratio reflects the differences in rates of return and saving rates between the top one percent wealthiest people and the people falling from Wealth Quintile 2 (the second poorest 20% people) to Wealth Quintile 4 (the second wealthiest 20% people) in a certain place. |
