It is quite common to use survey data to compute income inequality and
poverty measures. Usually survey data is stratified so that the probability
of being surveyed varies across households. The -pweight- and -svy- commands
take the "expansion factors" into account, however non of the
income-distribution/poverty commands (ineqdeco, inequal, rspread, sumdist or
povdeco) allow for the -pweight- option and I don't know how to use them
within the -svy- command.
How can I use the inequality/poverty commands when I have a stratified
survey (the survey already contains the inverse of the probability of being
surveyed [expansion factors])?
Thanks
Rafa
