Dear Statalist members,
I have the following question.
I have a dataset of the form:
year italy france germany ... ... ...
1980 209 349 256
1981 567 235 980
1982 129 567 100
...
where the numerical values indicate some expenditure levels. I would like to transfor this dataset into a panel creating the new variable "Expenditure", so that that dataset look like:
expenditure year country
280 1980 italy
567 1981 italy
129 1982 italy
349 1980 france
235 1981 france
567 1982 france
256 1980 germany
980 1981 germany
100 1982 germany
.....
any idea on how I can do this?
thank you in advance for any help
