Harmonized disposable income dataset for Europe at subnational level

Dataset of per capita disposable income for 42 European countries (and more than 120,000 administrative units at the subnational level), over the 2010-2020 period (with few additional years for some countries). This dataset was created by harmonizing disparate income data (net earnings, gross income, disposable income, etc.) gathered from national statistical institutes across Europe. Disposable income was converted to constant 2015 EU27 PPP€ to adjust for the costs of living and inflation across countries and to allow comparability over time. Total population and a measure of income inequality (Gini index) are also provided for subnational administrative units. Users can download the aggregated dataset covering the whole years (Disposable_Inc_DB.gpkg) or yearly files.
