Dear Statalisters, i have two databases, the first one has monthly data by
country like this:
country year month var1
Argentina 1989 1 x
Argentina 1989 2 x
. . . .
. . . .
Argentina 1999 12 x
for some set of countries (103 in total) and i have a second database which
has all the bilateral combinations among the countries that are included in
the first database (on a YEARLY basis), like this:
country1 country2 year var2
Argentina Brazil 1989 x
Argentina Brazil 1990 x
. . . .
. . . .
Zambia Zimbabwe 1999 x
My problem is that i want to merge the var1 of the first database into the
second one and in that way trasform my second bilateral base from a yearly
frecuency to a monthly one. Do you have any idea about how could i do this ?
Thanks in advance....
Alejandro Riano
