value for all person in the house.
I have a datset where the variables are: hid(ident house),
pid(personal ident), houseincome(income in the house), wagefemel(wage
of wife)
and income( houseincome - wagefemel)
hid pid houseincome wagefemal income
1 1 100 0 100
1 2 100 10 90
1 3 100 0 100
I have need that the house income is the house income minus wagefemal
for ech pid in the same house(hid) or 90.
I created wagefemal by hid, but not change.
