Launched in 2017 as a single point of access for statistics on global inequality data, this great site is managed by an international consortium of economists including Thomas Piketty. It emerged from the earlier World Top Incomes Database (WTID).
Its website states its aims as providing Distributional National Accounts (DINA), that is, to provide annual estimates of the distribution of income and wealth using concepts of income and wealth that are consistent with the macroeconomic national accounts.
The site includes interactive maps of inequality, research tools for students and journalists to create and manipulate their own data and datasets which can be downloaded.
