Dear listers,
I need a bit of help with -ineqdeco- , the ado used
for inequality measures and decomposition.
I have a dataset that is organized like this (on a
much larger scale)
village caste hh_income
1 1 [values of income]
1 1
1 1
1 1
1 2
1 2
1 2
1 2
1 3
1 3
1 3
1 3
1 3
..
2 1
2 1
..
..
I want to run the -ineqdeco- separately for each
village, with the decomposition
being done by caste. And then I want to retain the
results from -ineqdeco- in new
variables. The variables that I want to create are:
village_gini [= the gini for the village]
caste_gini [=the gini for the caste in the village]
village_within_a [= GE_W(a) for the village]
village_between_a [= GE_B(a) for the village]
I have tried looking for the saved results after a
test decomposition for one village
but I only found s(k) and s(varlist). Also, even if I
restrict:
ineqdeco hh_income if village == 1, by(caste)
Stata still seems to look at all the villages because
the maximum number of castes is
displayed and the program takes much longer to run
than if I keep only village 1, i.e.
keep if village == 1
ineqdeco hh_income, by(caste)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
-Radu
