Thanks to Kit Baum, an updated -changemean- is posted on SSC.
The major change of this new version is the possibility to use different
poverty measures such as:
h : headcount ratio [FGT(0)] (default value)
h2 : extremem poverty headcount ratio
pgr : poverty gap ratio [FGT(1)]
igr : income gap ratio
w : Watts index
s : Sen index
tak : Takayama index
thon : Thon index
fgt1 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(0.5)
fgt2 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(1.5)
fgt3 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(2)
fgt4 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(2.5)
fgt5 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(3)
fgt6 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(3.5)
fgt7 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(4)
fgt8 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(4.5)
fgt9 : Foster, Greer and Thorbecke - FGT(5)
chu1 : Clark, Ulph and Hemming index with beta of 0.10
chu2 : Clark, Ulph and Hemming index with beta of 0.25
chu3 : Clark, Ulph and Hemming index with beta of 0.50
chu4 : Clark, Ulph and Hemming index with beta of 0.75
chu5 : Clark, Ulph and Hemming index with beta of 0.90
In addition the package now has an auxiliary do-file (changemean_example.do)
and two datasets that illustrates usage of -changemean-, and is backward
compatible with Stata 7.0.
In order to install the new version simply type in the Stata command prompt:
ssc install changemean
All the very best,
Joao Pedro and Samuel
