RE: st: How to generate dummy for the following years

Dear Ronnie,
Thank you for your reply, I provided a small part of the data below, as can be seen some firms provided information for all 2003-2011 period while some of them did it for shorter period, for instance the firm which has id no: 00144277 observed only between 2007-2010. My aim is to do some kind of treatment effect analysis (effect of exporting on firm productivity in my case) by using propensity score matching approach. I already matched the data (regarding to their probability to export), now I want to analyse the export effect for the firms started to export and the effect for the following years. I copied and pasted some data since I think we cannot post attachments to Statalist. Thanks again.
Best
Umut

I have an unbalanced data for over 2000 firms (covering the period 2003-2011) and I have a dummy variable for the firms' export status (Export=1 if firm have positive export value that year). While, a few firms observed for all 9 years (2003-2011), majority of them observed for minimum 2 years consecutively.
