Changes in educational attainment model
- Updated regression for estimating tertiary graduation rate - rises more slowly in many countries
Fixed bugs associated with sub-regionalizing countries
Sub-regional files for Brazil included
Updated informal labor variable (LABINFORMALSHR) initialization to take ILO/WEIGO data first, then World Bank data to fill holes
7.37 includes scenario files for current UNDP projects
Calculation of the homicide index (HOMICIDEINDEX) now on the basis of total number of deaths as opposed to the death rate. This fixes the problem of the index value looking inflated for Honduras
Display issues: bug in the way population variables are displayed in the flexible display was fixed, radial graph bug fixed, development priorities display fixed
