Table 7 Poverty and inequality before and after the reform

From: An ex ante evaluation of the Revenu de Solidarité Active by micro–macro simulation techniques

Scenario	Headcount ratio	Poverty gap ratio	Gini coefficient	D9/D1
Baseline	0.1397 (0.0034)	0.0372 (0.0013)	0.2949 (0.0035)	3.6628 (0.0482)
Short run	0.1255 (0.0033)	0.0337 (0.0012)	0.2873 (0.0035)	3.5391 (0.0479)
Long run	0.1241 (0.0033)	0.0333 (0.0012)	0.2871 (0.0035)	3.5266 (0.0476)

Notes: Standard errors in parentheses. Poverty and inequality indices are computed on equivalized (OECD modified scales) disposable income. The poverty line is set at 60% of the median income of the baseline scenario.
