Hi all:

I am using an unbalanced panel dataset. i is ID and t is time. Every (i,t) has a characteristic x=0 or 1.

I want to generate a variable called "become" such that for each (i,t):

become=1, if x=0 at time t-1, and x=1 at time t
become=0, otherwise

How to write it? My primary concern is how to deal with the first t for each i--this observation does not have t-1.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Ben
