DER (version 1.3)

Income Polarization Index

Description

Extremely fast and memory efficient computation of the DER (or PaF) income polarization index as proposed by Duclos J. Y., Esteban, J. and Ray D. (2004). "Polarization: concepts, measurement, estimation". Econometrica, 72(6): 1737--1772. . The index may be computed for a single or for a range of values of the alpha-parameter and bootstrapping is also available.
