Thanks Nick,
I'll try to apply the filter for each country and then add all in a
variable. Could it be a good, even long, solution?
something like
hpfilter myvar if country==1, s(c1)
hpfilter myvar if country==2, s(c2)
and then
gen filtermyvar=H_c1
replace filtermyvar=H_c2 if country==2
thanks again
Giorgio
