Hi, i have the a database like this:
country descriptor year1970 year1971 ... year2000
Argentina var1 x70 x71 x00
Argentina var2 y70 y71 y00
Bolivia var1 x70 x71 x00
Bolivia var2 y70 y71 y00
.
.
.
and so on... i want to know if exists a way in which i could reshape this
wide dataset into a long one that would look like this:
country year var1 var2
Argentina 1970 x70 y70
Argentina 1971 x71 y71
.
.
.
do you know how could i do the reshape of the two variables jointly ? if i
use the <reshape> command i'd have to do it one by one.
Thanks in advance
Alejandro Riano
