Annual increments of life expectancy
Description
elife models annual increments of life expectancy for a given level of life expectancy. Quinquennial Gains in Life Expectancy At Birth are presented in the annex for the ease of use as quinquennial increments (table VI.6).
Note: The ANCILLARY FILES elife.dta is very important, which must be put ancillary with elife.ado, for example in directory ..Stata11\ado\plus\e . (click here to get)
Syntax
elife life1 life2 year1 year2 [, save(filename)]
Where life1 is the initinal male life expectancy level, life2 is the initinal female life expectancy level, and they must be in range [40, 92.5). year1 must be smaller than year2.
options Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * save(filename) Save the '.dta' format file with the name filename. No file saved if the options leaves empty -------------------------------------------------------------------------
