Hi All,
I have data I'd like to make into a graph, but I don't know if it's
possible. The data have democracy scores between -10 and 10 for
countries when they enter and leave the data set. For instance:
Country Year Score
======= ==== =====
AFG 1955 -10
AFG 2000 -7
ANG 1976 -7
ANG 2000 -3
ARG 1955 -1
ARG 2000 8
...
meaning that Afghanistan entered in 1955 with a score of -10 and left in
2000 at -7, Angola entered in 1976 at -7 and left in 2000 at -3, etc.
I'd like to make a graph with year on the x-axis, democracy score on the
y-axis, plot two points for each country denoting the democracy levels
they had when they entered and left the data set, and have these two
points connected by a line. (Without the last requirement, it would just
be a scatter plot, of course).
Is there a way to do this in Stata? I've been looking at the Graphics
book, but can't figure it out.
Any help is appreciated.
Best,
David Epstein
