• Counting Calories: Democracy and Distribution in the Developing World (2011, methodology): “4 Houle (2009) calculates that the commonly used Deininger and Squire (1996) Gini data set provides observations for only 11% of all possible country-years, well below any reasonable cutoff for imputation.”
• Inequality and Regime Change: Democratic Transitions and the Stability of Democratic Rule (2012, background): “11 One case, Sierra Leone, is identified as high inequality on the capshare measure, but was not included by Houle (2009) in the regressions because of a subsequent change in coding of the case.”
