Hi everyone, Did someone know how to generate the 90th percentile and 50th
percentile of the wage distribution?
I am working on a paper about the wage inequality of China. I read some paper
that the inequality is caculated based on the percentile wage differences, I
want to carry out my researh as follows:
The analysis revolves around two empirical models in which the respective
dependent
variables are specified as the difference of the log 2001 wage between:
(i) the most skilled (measured by the 90th percentile of the wage distribution)
and the least skilled
(measured by the 10th percentile of the wage distribution);
(ii) The most and ‘medium’skilled worker (measured by the 50th percentile of the
wage distribution);
Did someone know how to generate the 90th percentile and 50th percentile of the
wage distribution?
thank you very much!
