Yes, I know this question is not directly related to State program.
But I need someone's help to understand the problem.
The Ststa code to generate dummy variables is
**dummy variable
gen pre96=0;
replace pre96=1 if year==1986 | year==1987 | year==1988 | year==1989 |
year==1990 | year==1991 | year==1992 | year==1993 | year==1994 |
year==1995;
gen post96=0;
replace pos96=1 if year==1996 | year==1997 | year==1998 | year==1999 |
year==2000 | year==2001 | year==2002;
**interactive term
gen pre96s=pre96*smom;
gen post96s=post96*smom;
Thanks,
TaeHun Kim
