Subject: st: Deleting Only Particular Observations
Dear Statalist,
Variable size contains the marketcap of about 2000 firms from 11
countries (grouping var country).
I would like to keep only the 100 biggest firms (by marketcap) from
each country, and delete the residual observations.
How can I accomplish this?
Best regards
Christian
