*Fixed bugs associated with sub-regionalizing&nbsp;countries
*Sub-regional files for Brazil included
*Updated informal labor variable (LABINFORMALSHR)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;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
