Akib, have you seen O' Donnell et al.'s (2008) Analyzing Health Equity Using Household Data? Link here: https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/6896. It's a good resource to have on hand and includes sample Stata code. There's a chapter in there on concentration curves (Ch. 7) and the concentration index (Ch. 8) that may be helpful to you. This is probably just ignorance on my part, but the research I've seen on decomposing the CI (at least in my own research) have generally looked at the CI of some health outcome/health care access measure in relation to wealth. I'm curious what DHS variables would go on the right hand side of the model in your decomposition analysis if inequity in wealth is the variable under observation, though.
