Hi,
I think that code will works. Probably not very efficient, but i hope it
will be useful. Let me know !
gen dummy=.
sort firm charac innov
replace dummy=(charac==charac[_n-1] & firm==firm[_n-1])
replace dummy=(charac==charac[_n+1] & firm==firm[_n+1]) if dummy!=1
bysort firm innov: egen dummy2=max(dummy)
drop dummy

Objet : Re: st: Question on data manipulation
Thanks, but this does not work: The "dummy" variable contains only "ones". I
had already tried with with the "by:" command, but I am not sure about how
to use it.

Andr�
