Dear Stata listers,
I am facing a few problems when using the ado files poverty or povdeco.
When I type return list, I obtain only a partial list, and when I try to retrieve the result by typing
gen x=S_6 for example to store the headcount, an error message is returned
_s_6 not found
Could someone indicate to me what is it I am doing wrong? Basically, I only want to retrieve the poverty indexes in new variables using poverty. Similarly for povdeco.
The output I obtain is below.
Thanks in advance,
Thi Minh
