Variance estimation for quantile group shares, cumulative shares, and Gini coefficient
This short talk introduces and illustrates svylorenz, a Stata 9 program for computing variance estimates for quantile group shares of total varname, cumulative quantile group shares (i.e., Lorenz curve ordinates), and the Gini coefficient. The program implements the linearization methods proposed by Kovačević and Binder (Journal of Official Statistics, 1997).
