Abstract
The multimodel generalized beta estimator (MGBE) described by von Hippel, Scarpino and Hola (2014) provides researchers with an improved way to estimate inequality from binned incomes. To extend the application of MGBE, the mgbe command is developed in Stata. In this report, the implementation and performance of mgbe are discussed.
