Compute Weighted Gini Index Across a List of Data Frames

Description

Compute Weighted Gini Index Across a List of Data Frames

Usage

run_weighted_gini(data_list, var_name, wgt_name = NULL, na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

data_list	A named list of data frames, (e.g., across countries or years).
var_name	A string specifying the variable name (e.g., "dhi", "pilabour") to compute the Gini index on.
wgt_name	An optional string specifying the weight variable to be used. If NULL, equal weights are assumed.
na.rm	Logical. If TRUE, missing values in var_name and wgt_name are removed.

Value

A named list. Each list element is named by country and contains a named numeric vector, where the names are years and the values are the computed statistics.
