P99 应该指的是按照财富多少排名，后99%的人所拥有的财富与前1%的富人的财富的关系；
P2080应该指的是所谓“2/8原则”，在这个上下文里面是说20%的人拥有80%的财富。
没有找到具体的确切说法。供参考。

| 谢谢你的帮助。从前后文来看，P99是一个数据，P2080是一个数据，P99/P2080的比率是一个指标，指示贫富差距的程度，但目前没有找到这个两个数的详细说明，囧。 |

Trends in inequality as measured by the change in the P99/P2080
ratio largely reflected differences in rates of return and savings rates between the top one percent and the middle three wealth quintiles.
See: http://www.nber.org/papers/w22704.pdf
Wealth quintile:
A quintile is 20% of the population.
The wealth index involves giving each person in the population a score which represents how wealthy they are based on the characteristics of their household. With this score, you can create five ‘wealth quintiles’ as follows: put the poorest 20% into quintile one, the second poorest 20% into quintile two, the middle 20% into quintile three, the second wealthiest 20% into quintile four and the wealthiest 20% into quintile five.

In other words, the P99/P2080 ratio reflects the differences in rates of return and saving rates between the top one percent wealthiest people and the people falling from Wealth Quintile 2 (the second poorest 20% people) to Wealth Quintile 4 (the second wealthiest 20% people) in a certain place.
