st: RE: Calculating Gini

["Hulley, Benjamin (NIH/NCI)" <hulleyb@mail.nih.gov>]

John,

Assuming your districts aren't unique by state, this may help you:

. egen subgroup = group(state district), label
. ginidesc income [fw=weight], by(subgroup)

(Credit to Philip Ryan for pointing out egen group() to me)
