I have a data file with 626 observations of school zones. I've created a
Herfindahl measure for each zone using the following code:
gen hhi_race= (pwhite^2 + pblack^2 + phisp^2 + pasian^2)/10000
I've been trying to create similar measures for each zone using the seg
command below:
seg pblack pwhite pasian phisp, by(zonebdsi) d g c generate(d dsrace g
ginirace c coefrace) file(c:\test.dta) replace
Instead of getting a measure for each zone, I get one value for all of the
observations. Am I doing something wrong or do I misunderstand what "seg"
does?
Thanks for any help. And Happy Holidays.
