Equivalised Income #5

Closed DjalmaPessoa closed 7 years ago

DjalmaPessoa commented 7 years ago

Many examples used in convey are based on equivalised income.from EUSILC data This gives different weights to the people in a Household. As far as I know, this is not used by the people at IBGE. It might be interesting to use that with brazilian data for the first time. I believe it is possible to do that with the available information.
