I have a file with panel data, like this:
id x y
1 5 6
1 6 8
1 7 8
1 4 9
2 1 3
2 0 1
etc.
Now, I have another file that observations that are invariant at the id
level:
id z
1 7
2 5
3 4
etc.
I want to merge the two files to get this:
id x y z
1 5 6 7
1 6 8 7
1 7 8 7
1 4 9 7
2 1 3 5
2 0 1 5
etc.
How can -merge- handle this?
Thanks,
John
