Hi,
I have the following list of variables tobin_q_2000, tobin_q_2001....tobin_q_2010 and would like to get some summary stats. i am using the following code but do not know why it does not work.
forvalues i=2000/2010{sum tobin_q_'i'}
it is giving the error message "tobin_q_ ambiguous abbreviation" and do not know why. any help is appreciated.
kind regards
Ozgur Ozdemir
