Thanks for reply.
but my problem remains.
The question is how to assign a value of such a sum (or rather a kind of a
weighted mean of personal incomes) to the Macro Variable, and then use this
variable to compute the Gini coeff.
Of course if I use your the procedure you posted, I could compute the sum in
SPSS and the rest by hand.
But I aren't the computer programs written to do it for me???
That holds for other inequality coefficients which are anavailable in SPSS.
Thanks again.
