Dear Fernando:
Many thanks for your kind help. I highly appreciate it. You have
prosposed an excellent approach. I revised it to make it works as
desired:
bys id: sum(relationship)
forvalues i=1/`r(max)' {
gen y`i'=year_of_migration if migration==1 & pid==`i'
bysort id:egen yy`i'=max(y`i')
drop y`i'
qui sum yy`i'
if r(min)==. drop yy`i'
}
