I am currently trying to use Excel to derive a G-segregation index, which is a form of the standard Gini coefficient. (see attached)
I think this is the correct Excel formula for the numerator (as an array function), and it gives somehting which looks like the right result, but just wanted to check.
{=SUM(Y*TRANSPOSE(Y)*ABS(X-TRANSPOSE(X))}
Does anybody know if this is correct? What would the above look like as a standard summation if not?
Is there another way of calculating this?
[I would attach the original academic paper, bt don't want to infringe copyright - J.Silber - On the Measurement of Employment Segregation (1989)]
