The Gallup survey has the advantage of being conducted in over 130 nations with almost the same questionnaire; it stands as a complement to national household surveys for international comparison purposes. Our results confirm that Latin American countries are among the most unequal in the world, but we also find, considered as a single unit, Latin America is less unequal than other regions.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Income Distribution®}, author={Gasparini, Leonardo and Glüzmann, Pablo}, year={2013}, month={Jan.} }
