| Summary : Compute and Decompose Inequality in Education
|
Description :
Easily compute education inequality measures and the distribution of
educational attainments for any group of countries, using the data set
developed in Jorda, V. and Alonso, JM. (2017)
< DOI:10.1016/j.worlddev.2016.10.005>. The package offers the
possibility to compute not only the Gini index, but also generalized
entropy measures for different values of the sensitivity parameter. In
particular, the package includes functions to compute the mean log
deviation, which is more sensitive to the bottom part of the
distribution; the Theil’s entropy measure, equally sensitive to all
parts of the distribution; and finally, the GE measure when the
sensitivity parameter is set equal to 2, which gives more weight to
differences in higher education. The decomposition of these measures in
the components between-country and within-country inequality is also
provided. Two graphical tools are also provided, to analyse the
evolution of the distribution of educational attainments: The
cumulative distribution function and the Lorenz curve.
