st: Ginis for negative net worth
Date

Dear All,
I'm trying to calculate the gini coefficient for net worth (= financial
assets + real assets - debts) that has some negative values.
I do this using the command "inequal7" written by Philippe Van Kerm.
I'm doing an international comparison and for Poland I get a Gini that
is 1.15. Can anyone help me with the interpretation?
Why can there be a gini greater than one?
Thanks for your consideration,
Nora
