Fanfan,
To clarify: Are you asking which variable(s) in CompuStat helps you determine whether a company has paid a dividend in a year or not?

Subject: st: Questions for Subsample

Dear Stataisters,

I get the Compustat North America Annual data from 1980 to 2012, and I want to run a fixed effect regression for two groups, one of which is firms paying divined every year and the other group is firms paying no dividend or skipping dividend. My question is how to build these two groups? How to distinguish firms skipped dividend with firms paying dividend every year?

Thank you.

Regards,
Fanfan.
