Hello -

I have constructed a panel dataset containing data on +14,000 firms
from 1998 to 2008.  I created a dummy variable that identifies the
country where each firm is located (i.e., China, France, Germany,
Japan, India, UK, or US).

I now want to add the unemployment rate for each country that would
map into each firm's panel. That is, I would like a single column that
would match the country's unemployment rate to the panel of the
individual firm.

Is there a relatively easy way to do this?

Thanks so much!

Jason
