What do you mean by effective charges ?
When you mean "Born effective charges", this is not implemented.
When you just mean the charge of an atom: this is model dependend.
You may look at the charges inside spheres (scf file), but note: these are
NOT atomic charges, as a large fraction of charge is in the interstital
and cannot be given to any atom.
Alternatively, you can calculate "Bader" charges, which is at least a
well defined quantity. The aim program can do this.
