*One thing i notice is that the number as above is not quite tally with the number I got from national statistics bureau. For example in Sweden: the gini listed above is only 0.234 but the number i have gotten earlier for year between 2000 to 2006 is ranged between 0.27 to 0.31. So, why there is a discrepancy?
