Hello,
I have a health expenditure variable in current dollars, called H. It is a
numeric variable ("long"). I called it "H". I want to convert it in euros,
e.g to multiply by 1,6 so I write in my do-file:
"gen health=1.6*H"
I am very surprised because the results are wrong. It is very strange. For
instance:
H=13.00 and Health=23.32 (first observation)
or: H=116.00 and Health=16.96 (2d one)
or: H=76.00 and Health=169.6
Thank you very much for help
Best regards
Isabelle
