Dear Statalisters,
Here's my problem. I have a dataset with a number of individual-level observations. For each person, I have an identifier of the region (region_id) within (s)he lives in. I need to generate the following measure of upward relative income deprivation (rel_depr_up) for each person: the sum of differences between the person's income and incomes of all people with HIGHER income in the same region, divided by the total number of people in the region. Another measure I need is a measure of downward relative income satisfaction: the sum of differences between the person's income and incomes of all people with LOWER income in the same region, divided by the total number of people in the region. In addition, how to take into account individual weights in the calculation?
Thanks,
ir
