Re: st: Re: -ineqdeco- and saving subgroup results

[mbussolo@worldbank.org]

Stephen,

thanks for your answer but it is not what I need. I do not need to save the
results for inequality indicators by subgroups (which is what I also had found
in the archive of the statalist, the same ones you point to in your message) but
the actual decomposition results (i.e. the values for the 'between' and 'within'
parts), which are not retrievable as $_result in the standard version of
ineqdeco. Rafael de Hoyos re-programmed your original do file and send me a
version which does what I want. I suggested him to post it on the statalist.

Cheers, M

It is straightforward to save the subgroup results into variables (and thence
into a matrix if you wish), using a combination of -levelsof- (-levels- in
older versions of Stata) and a -foreach- loop.   The issue has been discussed a
number of times on Statalist already. A quick search in the Archives held at
StataCorp yields the following:
