Re: st: generate a variable representing correlation

[Nick Winter <nwinter@virginia.edu>]

The -egenmore- package adds many things to -egen-, including corr(), 
which calculates correlations (and covariances) between two variables.

To install:

. ssc install egenmore


Then it will be

 . egenmore corrtc = corr(tfp,capital) , by(industry year)
