Re: st: Importing a variable from another STATA file and an "xtregar" question

[Jorge Eduardo Pérez Pérez <perez.jorge@ur.edu.co>]

1. Use -merge- to bring back the variable, using the "panel" and
"time" identifiers. In version 11:

* Large and small dataset
webuse nlswork, clear
save large.dta, replace
keep idcode year age
save small.dta, replace
* Bring back race from large
merge 1:1 idcode year using large.dta, keepusing(race)

2. Use -_pctile_ and -if-
_pctile totalassets, nq(100)
gen in=(totalassets>=r(r95))
xtregar capexppenet salesppenet if in, re rhotype(theil) twostep
