gen company2 = 0
replace company2 = 1 if company == 2
The variable company numbers companies from 1 to ...
The above creates a variable company2 which equals 0 everywhere except for company number 2

Subject: <SPAM>st: Creating dummy variables for country dataset
 Hi
thanks for the help earlier!
i need to create dummy variables for 3 countries out of 213 from a panel data with 6 variables. I tried using the tabulate function but that generates dummy variables for all the countries, which is very cumbersome.
Any ideas, other than retrying in excel?
thanks a tonne!
