Hi, I am also using the DHS dataset. I have a binary (0=No, 1=Yes) outcome variable and several categorical predict variables. I would like to compute the concentration index (Erreygers) and decomposition of CI using Wagstaff, method.

I tried using atta asif 's Stata code and the code from the book Analyzing Health Equity Using Household Survey Data" by O'Donnell et al. In both cases the percent contribution does not add up to 100%. I am using Stata 15.

Does anybody have the same issue? If anyone of you ( Dubile Boko, Roos Hout, Geha Khanal, , FernandoRios, Nguyen Anh Tuyet) have solved the problem or share your do file will be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Atta Asif,

I am conducting a study using Peruvian DHS. I have computed all the commands you shared with us. However, the Stata output just give me the elasticity, concentration index, contribution, and percetage contribution of each variable but not of each variable´s category. As I see in your example, you have written each variable category as a predictor. I don´t know how to do that. Thank you in advance. Could you explain me that?

Hi
Can anyone assist with the code for calculating the Theil index of inequality? I am working on inequality in one or more health variables

[Jatinder Singh]

since, CI for binary variable is Erreygers CI and for continuous variable it is wagstaff CI. on decomposition of both CI, does elasticity formula remians the same or not?
