Terra Curtis asked for an easy way to create a certain date within a known year:
I think of one way, eventhough I am not very familiar with time-series
data, I guess it should still work:
(let the variable "year" be the container of your years than it should
work the following way:)
gen variable1=mdy(1,1,year)
gen variable2=mdy(12,31,year)
kind regards
