Thank you.
(1) I've tried the method you suggested, however I have panel data
from 1970-2006 covering 50 countries, the 5-year panels are only
needed from 1977-2004. e.g. 1977-2004, 1982-1986, with 2002-2004 being
the only 3-year panel. So anything before 1977 and after 2004 will
need to be deleted.
(2) Then I will also need to average my other variables and place them
into the 5-year panel slots accordingly. How do I do that?
(3) I might have to delete some rows (years) later on. But since I
have to do this for 50 countries, is there any shortcut for this?
