Dear all
I'm using the command povdeco and i'm facing somme difficulties to
decompose the result. Here is the syntax i use :
povdeco pex [aw = poids], varpl(seuil365) by(strate1)
but, stata does not decompose the results as i expected. It indicates
: "varlist not allowed"
here are my results
Total number of observations = 64503
Weighted total no. of observations = 10425208
Number of observations poor = 39226
Weighted no. of obs poor = 6525900.7
Mean of pex05 amongst the poor = 1.47e+05
Mean of poverty gaps (poverty line - pex05) amongst the poor =
71908.607
Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty indices, FGT(a)
----------------------------------------------
All obs | a=0 a=1 a=2
----------+-----------------------------------
| 0.62597 0.20885 0.09221
----------------------------------------------
FGT(0): headcount ratio (proportion poor)
FGT(1): average normalised poverty gap
FGT(2): average squared normalised poverty gap
varlist not allowed
Can anyone give me some insights about that ?
