Hi all,
I am learning the rdecompose syntax. I am trying to understand it by replicating the examples provided by Gutpa (1994). I can successfully replicate the one-factor example, but have problems in doing the 3-factors example.
I am using the three-factor example by Gutpa (1994) (I am attaching the data and full paper below). In this example, we want to understand the changes in headship rate between 1970 and 1980, the crude changes in rate is: 4.39. The factors are sex structure, marital status structure, and age structure. Sex have two groups: 1 and 2, marital status have 5: 1-5, and age have 7: 1-7. Each row represents each combination of the three factors. The code I am using is:
rdecompose size rate, group(population) sum(sex mar age) trans(size) function (size*rate)
I got the results:
It is not the same with reports in Gutpa (1994), like below. In brief, the rate effect is the same. However, I did not decompose the size effects into sex, age, and marital status. How do I correct my codes?
Appreciate all your help!
