-ma()- is not even advertised in the -help egen-. Have you tried your luck
with - tssmooth ma-?

Betreff: st: egen(more) panel data MA by group/year

Hi all,

I am trying to get a moving average for a group of observations, per
year, in my panel data. The data observations are individuals, each
with an ethnicity. I want to get the yearly average income of those
individuals by ethnicity.

Essentially, I am trying to do this:

egen inc_avg = ma(income), by(ethnicity)

Stata does not seem to allow -by- for -ma-

I also tried

egen inc_avg = ma(income), by(ethnicity) & (year)

Stata doesn't allow & in this context.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve
