Subject: xtreg (or any other regression for that matter) using independent
variables from previous wave 

Hi fellow listservers,

I would like to run a longitudinal regression model of the current dependent
variable using independent variables from a previous wave (somewhat of a
lagged variable model where the previous period(s) variables predict future
outcomes. I assume some coding like [n]-1 is needed, but I can't figure it
out.

I thank you in advance. 

Ariel
