This page Includes Stata programs (all of which work under STATA 8/9) for poverty dynamic analysis. Several other programs of general interest for economist are also available.
Poverty Analysis Toolkit Michael Lokshin and Martin Ravallion are developing a set of Stata ado programs to make accessible various methodologies for dynamic poverty analysis.
As of today, the Poverty Analysis Toolkit includes four programs for dynamic poverty analysis. The first two programs GIDECOMPOSITION and SEDECOMPOSITION perform growth-inequality and sectoral decompositions of poverty between two periods of time. Programs GICURVE and POV_ROBUST produce graphs. The first program produces the growth incidence curve and the second program produces various graphs for stochastic dominance analysis. The programs are accompanied by the help files with a detailed explanation of the programs’ syntax and applications. The sample program “Dynamic_poverty_example.do” illustrates the use of the program on a fictitious dataset.
All programs are designed to work under Stata 8/9. In order to use the programs copy ADO and HLP files into Stata's Ado directory. This directory is usually C:/ado. Alternatively, start Stata and type "adopath" to see the directory where Stata keeps its ado files and copy files in that directory. Alternatively, you can download the programs by linking to the website within Stata by typing: .net from http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPOVRES/Resources/ Note: Stata is case-sensitive so you must type the URL address as it is given here

Stata programs for Applied Economic Research In addition to the poverty analysis toolkit, we developed several programs of general interest for economists. MOVESTAY program implements a Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) algorithm to estimate the endogenous switching regression model. Within Stata type: .net install movestay, all replace from(http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPOVRES/Resources) Note: the program movestay has been updated in June 2006, please reload the new files.
OHECKMAN - Selection model based on ordered probit Within Stata type: .net install oheckman, replace from (http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPOVRES/Resources)
BIOPROBIT performs maximum-likelihood estimation of two-equation ordered probit models with endogeneity. For more detailed description of the model please see bioprobit.pdf. To install the program, within Stata type: findit bioprobit and follow the instructions there.
PLREG semi-parametric difference-based estimation of partial linear regression models. Partial Linear Regression Model: Within Stata type: .net install plreg, all replace from(http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPOVRES/Resources) Note: the program plreg has been updated in August 2006, please reload the new files
BESTREG is a procedure of selecting a subset of variables providing the model's best fit. It implements "Leaps and Bounds" algorithm for optimal subset search. Within Stata type: .net install bestreg, replace from (http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPOVRES/Resources)
PPREG does efficient estimation of regressions based on pseudo-panel data.
Within Stata type: .net install ppreg, replace from (http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPOVRES/Resources)
LOOKFOR_ALL is an extention of a Stata program lookfor. lookfor_all searches through all Stata data files in a current directory and subdirectories
for the variable(s) with a specified pattern. The pattern could be a part/whole variable name and/or a word(part of the word) in the variable label. To install the program, within Stata type: findit lookfor_all and follow the instructions there.
XML_TAB is a program that saves the outputs from Stata estimation procedures in Microsoft Excel. To install xml_tab, within Stata type: findit xml_tab and follow the instructions there.
