Lookup Tables to Generate Poverty Likelihoods and Rates using the Poverty Probability Index (PPI)
The Poverty Probability Index (PPI) is a poverty measurement tool for organizations and businesses with a mission to serve the poor. The PPI is statistically-sound, yet simple to use: the answers to 10 questions about a household’s characteristics and asset ownership are scored to compute the likelihood that the household is living below the poverty line – or above by only a narrow margin. This package contains country-specific lookup data tables used as reference to determine the poverty likelihood of a household based on their score from the country-specific PPI questionnaire. These lookup tables have been extracted from documentation of the PPI found at < https://www.povertyindex.org> and managed by Innovations for Poverty Action < https://www.poverty-action.org>.
Lookup tables for estimating the likelihood of poverty using the
Poverty Probability Index (previously called Progress out of Poverty Index) or PPI from country-specific indicators collected from
cross-sectional surveys. This lookup table is extracted from
documentation of the PPI found at https://www.povertyindex.org.
Installation
You can install ppitables from CRAN with:
install.packages("ppitables")library(ppitables)
You can install ppitables from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")devtools::install_github("validmeasures/ppitables")library(ppitables)
Usage
The ppitables package contains PPI lookup tables for the 61
countries[1] where PPI can currently be calculated. To be able to use
the lookup tables in ppitables appropriately, you need to be aware of
the naming syntax used for the tables for each country. The name for
each table will always have three fixed or constant components as
follows:
ppiXXXYYYY
The name of any of the PPI tables contains:
ppiin lower case letters;XXXwhich is the the three letterISO codeof the country of interest (all capitals); and,YYYYwhich is the specific year at which the country PPI table was released.
These three components are joined together without any spaces or gaps.
Some country lookup tables may have additional components to their name
which are added after the year separated with an underscore. These
usually signify that a lookup table released on a particular year has a
subset table in which the poverty likelihoods for a given PPI score
are reported based on a different poverty definition or cut-off. This
additional component to the table name is usually a character value or
alphanumeric and is usually country-specific. To know more about what
this additional component to some PPI tables refer to, read the index
table below of the PPI tables available in this package.
Following are the available PPI country tables from the ppitables
package. This is updated as at 11 May 2019 using information from the
PPI site.

To extract the actual PPI tables, the get_table() function can be
used. The get_table() function wraps around the find_table()
function to make a search for a specific PPI table and then extracts the
table/s and puts them together into a tidy data frame.
For example, to get the actual PPI tables for all countries with PPI tables, the following command can be used in R:
get_table()#> # A tibble: 82,517 x 7#> country release_year filename type score poverty_definition ppi#> <fct> <fct> <fct> <fct> <dbl> <chr> <dbl>#> 1 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 0 nl 100#> 2 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 1 nl 100#> 3 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 2 nl 100#> 4 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 3 nl 100#> 5 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 4 nl 100#> 6 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 5 nl 68.8#> 7 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 6 nl 68.8#> 8 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 7 nl 68.8#> 9 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 8 nl 68.8#> 10 Afghanistan 2012 ppiAFG2012 sps 9 nl 68.8#> # … with 82,507 more rows

Notes
- Only 60 country PPI tables are shown here and available via the package. There is no lookup table for China because the China Poverty Scorecard is an expert-based scorecard. See this for futher explanation.
