Leonor,
that's clearer now. You could of course do -tabulate pension jub-, and
the same for the other variables, but then it wouldn't be in one
table. Will the number of ones and the total number of observations be
enough? In this case,
tabstat jub inv sob, by(pension) stats(sum count)
will do. If you want the table as you drew it, here is one way to do this.
** generate some test data
clear
set obs 100
gen pension = mod(_n,3)
gen jub = uniform()>0.4
gen inv = uniform()>0.5
gen sob = uniform()>0.6
preserve
collapse jub inv sob (count) count=jub, by(pension)
foreach x of varlist jub inv sob {
gen `x'_1 = round(count*`x',1)
gen `x'_0 = count -count*`x'
}
list pension jub_1 jub_0 inv_1 inv_0 sob_1 sob_0 count
restore
****
Here is another way, using the same test data:
***
sort pension
foreach x in jub inv sob {
by pension: gen `x'_1 = sum(`x'==1)
by pension: gen `x'_0 = sum(`x'==0)
by pension: replace `x'_1 = `x'_1[_N]
by pension: replace `x'_0 = `x'_0[_N]
}
tabstat jub_1 jub_0 inv_1 inv_0 sob_1 sob_0, by(pension)
***
Hope this helps,
Eva
