Louis Chauvel

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: fastrgini calculates six distributional statistics for one positive-valued variable, using sorted-data algorithms implemented in Mata. It extends the approach of fastgini (Sajaia, 2007) by calculating the conventional Gini together with its reciprocal counterpart and associated measures.

Language: Stata
Requires: Stata version 10
Keywords: Gini coefficient; reciprocal (search for similar items in EconPapers)
