Hello:
I�m using data of Argentina�s household survey. I�m defining a program for
calculate FGT. I have different poverty lines (zetane, zetacu, zetagba,
zetano,zetapam, zetapat )in differents states of the country diffing by
the variable region. This work perfectly coherent with other results I got
using stata.
The point is I want to calculated this program using weights, and It
wasn�t possible to me to modify this program for using them. Does someone
could help me?
best regards
Yanina
Here is the program I�m using under stata version 6.0
capture program drop fgtreg
program define fgtreg, rclass
syntax varlist(max=1), alfa(real) zetane(real) zetacu(real) zetagba(real)
zetano(real) zetapam(real) zetapat(real)
quietly {
tempvar each suma
gen `each'=.
gen `suma'=.
replace `each'=1*(1-`varlist')/`zetane')^`alfa' if region==41
&`varlist'<`zetane'
replace `each'=1*(1-`varlist'/`zetacu')^`alfa' if region==42
&`varlist'<`zetacu'
replace `each'=1*(1-`varlist'/`zetagba')^`alfa' if region==1
&`varlist'<`zetagba'
replace `each'=1*(1-`varlist'/`zetano')^`alfa' if region==40
&`varlist'<`zetano'
replace `each'=1*(1-`varlist'/`zetapam')^`alfa' if region==43
&`varlist'<`zetapam'
replace `each'=1*(1-`varlist'/`zetapat')^`alfa' if region==44
&`varlist'<`zetapat'
replace `suma'=sum(`each')
local fgtreg=`suma'[_N]/_N
return scalar fgtreg = `fgtreg'
}
display in yellow "FGT `varlist'= `fgtreg'"
end
