This paper seeks to improve regional and national databases. Apart from Taylor and Hudson (1972), Deininger and Squire (1999), and Frankema (2008), there are no estimates for land inequality, that is, landgini indices for Latin America for the period 1950-1970. Furthermore, the estimates of these authors are incomplete and only focus on the national level. The objective of this paper is to fill in the gaps in the literature by offering new and original estimates of landgini indices for all Latin American countries, and by extension for the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, both nationally and regionally. The paper presents the methodology and sources used to estimate the landginis indices, compare them with previous estimat...
