Thanks Maarten,
But, is that really different from doing
When drep==0
prgen price, x(drep=0 drepXprice=0) f(3290) t(16000)
And a loop for all values of price using
prvalue, x(drep=1 price=$value drepXprice=$value)
When drep==1
And then using both results to generate the graph (sorry, my stata
programming skills are pretty non-existent, the previous lines is meant
as a a general statement not Stata code)?
Or, more specifically: is this enough to take into consideration the
issues raised by Norton, Wang, Ai?
