Households’ catastrophic out of-pocket health expenditures indices using rank-dependent thresholds.

	Total household expenditure				Total non-food household expenditure
Initial threshold (z) of household expenditure	5%	10%	20%	25%	5%	10%	25%	40%
Catastrophic headcount $\left({H_{cat}}^{\prime }\right)$	16.8%	9.7%	3.8%	2.4%	24.2%	15.8%	5.9%	2.7%
Catastrophic gap $\left({G_{cat}}^{\prime }\right)$	1.5%	0.9%	0.4%	0.3%	2.9%	2.1%	0.9%	0.4%
Catastrophic mean positive gap $(P{G_{cat}}^{\prime })$	8.6%	9.5%	10.6%	11.7%	12.1%	13.3%	14.7%	13.3%

Notes: The parameter of aversion to inequality ($\gamma$) used to generate the indices is set at $0.8$

The analysis is based on a total of 3,167 households
