Dear Sir,
I apologize if my email sounds na�ve... But if those are the only things you
want to do, would converting the data from long to wide format help?
Then, you could possibly have a variable "SelfEmployedAtSomePoint"
Gen SelfEmployedAtSomePoint="No"
Replace SelfEmployedAtSomePoint="Yes" if
employment1=="self-emp"|employment2=="self-emp"....
Tab SelfEmployedAtSomePoint
List personal_number year1 employment1 year2 employment2..... If
SelfEmployedAtSomePoint=="Yes"
Again, I apologize if my reply sounds na�ve, but I hope it helps.
Warm regards,
Siddharth.

Hi, all.
Suppose I have the following data:
personal_number employment year
1 perm 1997
1 perm 1998
2 un-Emp 1997
2 self-emp 1998
3 perm 1997
3 self-emp 1998
4 self-emp 1997
4 perm 1998
Now, I want Stata to tell me how many people were self-employed in this
data-set at SOME point in time. (3)
Next, I also want stata to list the whole employment history of anyone who
has been self-employed at SOME point in time.
Could you please assist me?
Many thanks
andrey
