st: nested loop for mean and median
Date

Dear Statalis,
I need to get the mean and median for some firms in a certain year
(2000-2012) and certain industry (73 industries). e.g. the mean and
median for assets for the firms operate in industry 6 in year 2004,
and so on. I tried the following nested loop but I got error (109).
p.s. I need the mean and median as new variables as they will be used
in further calculations.
foreach v of var Assets Liab Income {
forval y=2000/2012 {
forval i= 1/73 {
qui su `v' if fyear==`y'& sic==`i'& country==1
gen mean_`v' = r(mean)
gen median_`v' = r(median)
}
}
}
type mismatch
r(109);
Many thanks
Nahla Betelmal
