Bootstrap standard errors for indices of inequality
---------------------------------------------------
.
	^ineqerr^ varlist [weight] [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] [^, r^eps^(^#^)^ ^psu(^varname^)^
                        ^psuwt(^varname | expression^)^]
.
^aweight^s and ^fweight^s are allowed; see help @weights@.

Description
-----------
.
^ineqerr^ computes three indices of inequality - Gini coefficient, Theil entropy
measure and Variance of Logs - and bootstrap estimates of their sampling
variances. The program offers three variations of the bootstrap variance
estimates.
.
.
Options
-------
.
^reps(^#^)^ specifies the number of bootstrap replications to be performed. The
    default value is 100.
.
^psu(^varname^)^ specifies the variable identifying the primary sampling unit.
    If no variable is specified, then the bootstrap replication is a single-
    stage, simple random draw on the sample. If specified, the bootstrap
    replication is two-stage simple random draw on the sample.
.
^psuwt(^varname^)^ specifies the weight to be used for the first-stage
    selection process. If, for example, the population of the primary sampling
    unit is specified, then the bootstrap replicates a random draw with
    probability proportional to population. Both ^psuwt^ and the ^weight^
    options accept either a variable name or an expression, where for example
    an expression might be the product of two variables. The psuwt option
    can only be used if the primary sampling unit is specified.
    If no weighting variable is specified for the first-stage but the psu
    is specified, the bootstrap replication is two stages of a simple random
    draw on the sample.
