Hi everyone,
I am using Time Use data from ISTAT (data are not longitudinal). Since I would like to carry out both a within and between group inequality analysis, I would like to know if there is any command computing the Gini Index as described here: "The Gini coefficient is the ratio of the area between the line of perfect equality and the Lorenz curve, over the area of the triangle below the line of perfect equality" (Altintas, Casarico and Sommacal- working paper). Furthermore, is there a way to test differences in Gini Coefficient between groups (e.g. testing if the gini Coefficient of higher educated mother is equal to that one of lower educated ones)?
Thank you in advance
