Dear Stata Users,

Im using a microdata set. Im estimating aggregates with the data set. The data set is unbalanced. A situation arises when I lag the variables by

sort  PLANT YEAR STATE COUNTY ECOGROUP FIRM
quietly by PLANT:  gen Ait1= aggregateprod[_n-1]

It generates missing values for the lag variable of the aggregate, but there should a value(with the exception of the first year), since Ait is the aggregate value by year. How can I change the missing values to the actual values without doing a replace for each year. I thank you in advance for all your help.

Sincerely,

Luis
