Subject: st: Gini index with pweights
Deal all,
I would like to estimate the Gini index with sampling weights pweight.
Inequal.ado allows only fweights to be used; ineqdeco.ado allows fweights
and aweights.
How can I do it?
Thanks
Francesca Modena

You do not say whether you are interested in the point estimate of the Gini
index, or the estimated standard error as well. If just the former, then
-ineqdeco- will do fine. Simply declare your pweights as aweights.
If you are also interested in standard errors, -svylorenz- on SSC will
provide them (derived using linearization methods).
