Ethnolinguistic Fractionalization (ELF) Indices, 1961 and 1985

The Ethnolinguistic Fractionalization (ELF) Indices, 1961 and 1985 Indices measure the probability of two randomly selected people not belonging to the same ethnolinguistic group using different methods. The estimates are computed from population estimates of different sources. For details, please visit https://pages.ucsd.edu/~proeder/elf.htm
