INEQRBD: Stata module to calculate regression-based inequality decomposition

Carlo V. Fiorio () and Stephen Jenkins ()

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: ineqrbd performs regression-based decomposition of the inequality in depvar into the contributions accounted for by each of the rhsvars. The formulae used are those proposed by Fields (2003) which, in turn, are closely related to those proposed by Shorrocks (1982) for non-regression-based decomposition of inequality by income source.
