Dear STATA Users,
Greetings! I have gone through the paper entitled "THE INTENSITY AND SHAPE OF INEQUALITY: THE ABG METHOD OF DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS"In Review of Income and Wealth Series 62, Number 1, March 2016 DOI: 10.1111/roiw.12161. In this paper Prof. Chauvel has generated strobiloid graphs.I find it to be extremely useful in understanding the structure of inequality.
The strobiloid shows the income hierarchy (on the vertical axis, 1 = median). The curve is larger (horizontal axis) when the density at this level of income is higher: As expected, many individuals will be at the intermediate level near to the median and their number diminishes at the top and at the bottom. Thus, in strobiloids with a larger belly, the intermediate middle class is larger with a more equal distributions.
Here, I have attached an example data, where my objective is to generate a strobiloid for two different data points/periods (represented by X and Y columns), for say 11 individuals.
Can anyone help in generating the strobiloid?
Regards,
Aswini
