Computing a social mobility matrix using DAD

  1. Use DAD and launch the application Decomposition => Transient matrix
  2. Select the appropriate vectors.
  3. In this example, we use the panel data of Benin's household surveys for the years of 1996 and 1999 (ELAM_96 & ELAM_99)
  4. Select "Social mobility" as Matrix option
  5. Suppose we are concerned with quintiles (0-0.2, 0.2-04, ... 0.8-1.0). For this, select equalised partitions option with min=0, max=1.0 and the number of partitions equal to 5.
  6. Click on the button compute.
