Hi everybody.
I have a dta database which contains the indication of latitude and longitude
of, say, South American mineral ores. I have to find out in which country of
South America each mineral ore is located. Now, I could look up each single
point on google earth or something, but suppose I have a shapefile of South
America which records also the boundaries of states, by means of latitude and
longitude data. Is there any way I can use Stata to assign each data point to
the country in which it falls?
I know I may go a little off topic since perhaps my issue can only be
addressed with a GIS software....
Thanks,
Sheila
