    Question Formula Help --- G-Segregation Index

    I am currently trying to use Excel to derive a G-segregation index, which is a form of the standard Gini coefficient.

    The non-matrix form and matrix form equation for what I am trying to calculate is in the 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? 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)]
