Austin,

Thanks greatly for you help. I'll try your code out. I'd be interested to hear your reservations about my method if you have the time and inclination. They may concern something I have already considered, but then again, they may not.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Wilde

You can do all this within Stata, though it is not clear to me that it
is a good idea.  Try this (untested) approach for starters:

g a=.
g b=.
g p=.
levelsof country, loc(c)
foreach i of local c {
 qui reg data301 time if country==`i'
 replace p=2*ttail(e(df_r),abs(_b[time]/_se[time]))  if country==`i'
 su time if time==1990 & e(sample), meanonly
 if r(N)==0 {
 replace time=1990  if country==`i'
 predict A  if country==`i'
 }
 else g A=data301 if country==`i'
 replace time=2015 if country==`i'
 predict B if country==`i'
 replace a=A  if country==`i'
 replace b=B  if country==`i'
 drop A B
}
bys country: drop if _n>1
keep country p a b
g c="no significant trend" if p>0.1
replace c="significant upward trend" if b>a & p< 0.1
replace c="significant downward trend" if b<a & p< 0.1 & b > a/3
replace c="achieved 2/3 reduction" if p<.1 & b < a/3
list, noo clean

All,

I just thought I would repost the below message because I didn't get any
responses yesterday. Is there anything about it that's unclear? Or is it
just a boring question?

Kind Regards,

Daniel Wilde
