Philipp has identified the main initial problem,
but his code still won't work.
The first problem is that
forvalues i of num 1/`r(max)' {
is illegal. You probably want
forvalues i = 1/`r(max)' {
The second problem is with
local k=1
while `k'<=`year_count' if bvd_id_number==`l' {
replace gamo=gamo + (tax[_`l']-tax[_`k'])*ratio_assets[_`k']
local k=`k'+1
}
The -if- condition is in the wrong place, so
this is more likely. I assume `year_count' is
defined upstream.
local k=1
while `k'<=`year_count' {
replace gamo=gamo + (tax[_`l']-tax[_`k'])*ratio_assets[_`k'] if bvd_id_number==`l'
local ++k
}
