Essentially my data looks as follows:

County   CountyNumber     Year    Quarter     ......................
Allen     1                2001    1
Allen     1                2001    2
Allen     1                2001    3 
Allen     1                2001    4
Allen     1                2002    1
...       ...              ...     ...
Allen     1                2008    4
Anderson  2                2001    1
...       ...              ...     ...
Anderson  2                2008    4

It continues this way for 105 counties.  My question is how do I use the xtset command when I have both Year and Quarter as time variables.  County and CountyNumber are both classifying the same thing in the dataset.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew Nicholson
