Re: st: Maximum value for a variable

[Oliver Jones <ojones@wiwi.uni-bielefeld.de>]

Hi,
maybe you could also try something manual like:

sort country year
forvalues to_year = 1999/2010{
	local from_year = `to_year' - 14
	by country year: egen max_growth`ayear' = max(gdp_growth) ///
		if year > `from_year' & year < `to_year'
}

But I guess rolling is more convenient...

Best
Oliver
