Exercise 8.32

Decompose inequality in EXPEQ as a sum of inequality in each of its four components, FDEQ, NFDEQ, HEALTHEQ and SCHEXPEQ.

Answer
STEP 1: Initialising  the sampling weight: EDIT|Set Sample Design

 

  • After choosing the appropriate variable(s), click on  the button OK.

STEP 2: Use the DAD Application: DECOMPOSITION|S-GINI: DECOMPOSITION BY SOURCES

  • After choosing the appropriate variable(s) and parameters, click on the COMPUTE button.
