My dataset, in the wide form, contains for each respondent a series of
variables that have the form: education1979,
education1980...education2004, where each variable educationYYYY
contains the respondent's educational status during the indicated
calendar year.
I know each respondent's birth year (as a distinct variable,
"dob_year"), and would like to get a series of variables of the form
"education14," education15"...education52.
My idea is that "education14" would hold the respondent's education at
age 14, up to the oldest respondent age of 52. Could someone please
suggest some code to help me figure out this problem?
