Just to clarify, do mean something like this? You have: id time var1 1 1980 3 1 1981 6 1 1982 8 1 1983 4 1 1984 2 (all the other years...) 1 2000 8 1 2001 7 1 2002 8 1 2003 9 1 2004 3 And you want: id time var1 var2 1 1980 3 mean_up_to_1985 1 1981 6 mean_up_to_1986 1 1982 8 mean_up_to_1987 1 1983 4 mean_up_to_1988 1 1984 2 mean_up_to_1989 (all the other years...) 1 2000 8 . 1 2001 7 . 1 2002 8 . 1 2003 9 . 1 2004 3 . where the "." is meaning missing.

Hello stata listers I have a panel data with number of cuntries=15 and the time period of the data set is 1980-81 to 2004-05. Now I want to generate a variable say var2 from var1, where first observation in var2 is mean of the var1 for year 1980-81 to 1984-85 then second observation is mean of 1986-90 and so on. I am working on stata10. Suggest me how I can do it.
