Hello,
I am sure there is a very simple solution to this
problem, but I don't know what it is...
I have a panel of 50 countries, 14 years, with the
dollar exchange rate being one of the variables. For
example:
Australia 1990 austexch1990
Australia 1991 austexch1991
Australia 1992 austexch1992
Peru 1990 peruexch1990
Peru 1991 peruexch1991
Peru 1992 peruexch1992
etc.
The problem I am having is that I want to generate a
variable equal to the exchange rate in 2000 for each
country:
Australia 1990 austexch2000
Australia 1991 austexch2000
Australia 1992 austexch2000
Peru 1990 peruexch2000
Peru 1991 peruexch2000
Peru 1992 peruexch2000
etc.
It must be very easy to do, but I don't know how to
specify it. I don't believe any of the expressions
listed in help for 'egen' serve me either. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
