Hello,
I have network data in the following two columns:
column1 column2
FirmA person1
person1 FirmB
FirmB FirmC
person2 FirmB
FirmA person3
I
need to find a way to convert this data so that only firms remain in
the data. Basically, in cases where a person is the link between two
firms, I want the firms to get directly linked. So I want to somehow
convert the data to this form:
column1 column2
FirmA FirmB
FirmB FirmC
Is
there a way that Stata can do this automatically? I have 58000 rows and
there is no way to do this manually. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Dalhia
