在拉美，基尼系数是根据收入计算；而在亚洲，主要依据于支出，因为通常得不到可靠的收入数据。

Gini coefficients in Latin America are based on income; those in Asia are mainly based on expenditure, because reliable income data are often not available.

在那些不平等数据可以从两种方式获得的亚洲国家里，通过收入计算出的系数一般都要比基于支出计算出的高出五分之一。

In Asian countries where inequality data are available on both measures, the income coefficient is typically a fifth higher than that based on expenditure.

或者当一个家庭少报了它的支出，他就假定花在食品上的钱也成比例的减少。 这样就不会对恩格尔系数产生影响了。

Or if a household does underreport its spending, he assumes that it also downplays its food expenses proportionately, so that their Engel's coefficient is unaffected.
