Abstract
Income and wealth differ over the life cycle. In cross-sectional distri-

butions of income or wealth, classical inequality measures such as the Gini, could

therefore find substantial inequality even if everyone have the same life-time in-

come or wealth. We describe the

AG

index (Almås and Mogstad, 2011) which

is a generalization of the classical Gini index with attractive properties, and we

provide the

adgini

command which provides the

AG

index as well as the classical

Gini index. The

adgini

command provides options to produce other well known

age-adjusted inequality measures, such as the Paglin-Gini (Paglin, 1975) and the

Wertz-Gini (Wertz, 1977), and provides efficient estimation of the classical Gini

coefficient.
