Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) to the book titled "New Methods for Measuring Inequality by Analyzing Assortative Mating"

The file contains the solutions to the numerical examples in the book by Naszodi (2025). As a bonus, the Visual Basic code constructs a counterfactual table using the NM-method (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NM-method), which is one of the few methods suitable for analyzing changes in educational homophily. Some related codes and data can also be found here: data.mendeley.com/datasets/x2ry7bcm95/ data.mendeley.com/datasets/tfcx4vh7g3 data.mendeley.com/datasets/7cm6673vg8 data.mendeley.com/datasets/95k6mmrxvg/ The file 'New_Methods_for_Measuring_Inequality_Naszodi_2025_ESM.xlsm' can be used to replicate most of the results in the book, as well as for educational and research purposes.

If you have ever struggled to identify plausible patterns of homophily, marital sorting, or inequality using methods, indicators, or models that were popular before 2019—such as the Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF) algorithm, the odds ratio, log-linear regression, the Minimum Euclidean Distance Approach (MEDA), the Matrix Determinant-based Approach (MDbA), or the Choo-Siow model—then this book and its electronic supplementary material will be of particular interest to you.
