To answer the questions 1 and 3, you need to use the data you downloaded during preparing Assignment 1. Please refer to Assignment 1 for this data. 1. Note that the GINI Coefficient is an index and not measured as a currency. It is used as a measure of inequality. In the data you downloaded, it is between 0 and 100. The value 0 indicates perfect income equality whereas the value 100 indicates perfect income inequality. 2. Note some observations may be missing for some years for GINI index. That is still OK, continue to select all years (including the missing ones) to do your calculations. 3. DO NOT attach Excel files to the assignment.
