The -somersd- package (downloadable from SSC) can also calculate the
Gini coefficient, with confidence limits. These confidence limits can be
calculated using Normalizing and variance-stabilizing transformations
(the arcsine or the hyperbolic arctangent), which might be useful if you
are sampling from a population with a very unequal income distribution
and therefore a high Gini coefficient.

I hope this helps.

I`m new and I don`t know what command ineqdeco do. But if someone are
looking a program for the gini I`ve one
