Abstract: The command prosperity calculates the Shared Prosperity Convergence Index -SPCI-. This is the new indicator that the World Bank uses to measure the progress in the growth and inequality reduction. The base indicator is calculated for the bottom 40 of the distribution but the command includes different options to include different cut-off in the distribution and different sub groups.
