st: Re: GINI Inequality Index Question

["R.E. De Hoyos" <redeho@hotmail.com>]

Di,

ssc install ineqfac

ineqfac inc1 inc2...incK [aw=population]

This will give you the contribution of each factor "k" to total income 
inequality, regardless of the inequality index used. For the theoretical 
background see Shorrocks (1982), Econometrica.

Best,
Rafa
