Ride sharing giant Lyft came to the market on Thursday, as the company beat rival Uber to the market in one of the biggest and most  closely watched initial public offerings of the year. The company began trading on the Nasdaq at $72 per share,  according to a report in The Wall Street Journal,  giving Lyft a valuation of over $20 billion in the booming market for car sharing.

The World Bank provides an in-depth explanation for its methodology, which you can find in Appendix A of the full report  here . We focused on the percentage of people in each country living below what the World Bank defines as extreme poverty, or $1.90/day. We’ll let the researchers defend this definition on their own, but there is one caveat to keep in mind.
